The Plains Indian of the Upper Missouri in the nineteenth-century buffalo days remains the widely recognized symbol of primitive man par excellence-and the persistent image of the North American Indian at his most romantic. Fifteen cultural highlights, each a chapter made from research for a particular subject and enriched by contemporary illustrations, provide a sensitive interpretation of tribes such as the Blackfeet, the Crows, and the Mandans from the decades before Lewis and Clark up to the present.

In an attempt to understand and record the old culture of the Indians, the author has developed, over the past 30 years, a special ethnohistorical approach. The results, as seen here, are enlightening both for other ethnohistorians and for historians of more or less conventional bent. This book is abundantly illustrated from historical sources.

Oxford Handbook of Mexican History
<em>The Oxford Handbook of Mexican History </em>offers an authoritative guide to the last five centuries of Mexico's past and its enduring historical legacies. Thirty-one essays divided into five thematic sections delineate the elements of this history. The handbook's opening essay, written by the volume editor, surveys themes that run through the following chapters while introducing readers to the work of notable historians, their strategies for writing the nation's history, and directions for future research. Leading Mexican, US, and Canadian authors account for historical developments without overly relying on methodological descriptions. Chapters aim to capture the drama of national life, from the years leading up to the Spanish-Aztec War of 1519 until the present day, while providing expert appraisal of the sources and techniques used by historians for narrating the Mexican past
