Tragic Encounters by Page Smith
A fascinating new history of the Native Americans. Explores the story of Native Americans from Jamestown to Wounded Knee, and from coast to coast.
'Rejecting an idealized version of American tribal life, a historian tells a complex story. . a vivid recounting of brutality, duplicity, and violence on all sides.' * Kirkus Reviews *
