Description
[In this book] “The influence of geographical conditions upon the life of the primitive Indians has been emphasized. This factor is especially important because people without iron tools and beasts of burden, and without any cereal crops except corn, must respond to their environment very differently from civilized people of today.”
This interesting little educational volume was authored by Ellsworth Huntington and published in New Haven by Yale University Press in 1920. Its 183 pages provide a juvenile-level history of the indigenous people of North America. The content emphasizes regional relationships with various forms of vegetation and includes two folding maps – a physical map of the continent and cultural areas of various Indian tribes.
