Accented with over one hundred sketches and paintings by the author, Great Lakes Indians makes an important contribution toward a better understanding of the North American Indians who lived in this region. The striking illustrations will help you visualize and understand many interesting features of Indian life. This book provides a thorough history of the people of the Great Lakes region.
