For too many people the story of the Indian has long been distorted and fragmented, a hodgepodge of names and tribes that begins in 1492 and ends with the era of television westerns. But for more than 20,000 years Indians were the sole inhabitants of the New World“ Garden of Eden” of the Western Hemisphere. J. F. Kennedy stated“ American Indians defy any single description, they were and are far too individualistic. They shared no common language and few common customs.” The book covers the period from the time before the earliest white man entered the New World to the present day. The study of numerous Indian dwelling places and the climate and conditions under which the different tribes lived reveals how varied the supply of natural resources were, yet in each location they survived because of their knowledge of plant and animal needs.
