pdf / English / 252 pages / 1976 Viking Press / 51 MB

To the Europeans who first encountered North America, the world's third largest
continent seemed a mysterious, empty land, with no history. For centuries to follow, the achievements of its aboriginal population remained in the shadows, overlooked by explorers, colonists, and historians alike. But what they missed has now been remarkably recovered by the diligent investigations of modern archaeology, and indisputable evidence of the great contributions that the American Indians have made to the cultural history of the world is presented in this engrossing volume.
