Summary: A Reader
Comment: Wow!! What a book. Focusing on the Eastern Colonization of America, Daniel Richter provides an extremely powerful and even handed view on Native American - European interaction between the years 1620 and 1812. I loved this book. You will to.

Summary: we need more voices like these
Comment: There are far too few books like this, that dare to make the imaginative leap to express the point of view of another culture. Mr. Richter's achievement is to give us a way to stand in the "shoes" of those who greeted us when we arrived on these shores, tried to understand us and live with us, and ultimately were decimated by the policies that we, as immigrant peoples, put in place. I would highly recommend that readers pair this with Kent Nerburn's Neither Wolf nor Dog, another work that takes us deep inside the hearts and minds of those who inhabited this land before us. We need more books like these. They show that it is not impossible to enter into the self consciousness and self understanding of people who see the American experience through very different eyes.

Summary: A better understanding of Native perceptions and events
Comment: Facing East From Indian Country is a scholarly survey of American Indian history up to the early 19th century and will appeal to college-level students of Native American history and culture. The tone of this history differs from most in keeping Native experience and perspectives in the forefront of the story: the result is a better understanding of Native perceptions and events in early America.
