Book review:

Facing East from Indian Country:

A Native History of Early America

Daniel K. Richter (b1954)

American historian, a Pulitzer Prize finalist

Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2001

You can count on Richter to provide a full course meal of insights and commentaries and knowledge about the original peoples of North America.

Dig in to Facing East from Indian Country to learn about how the Indians felt and what they understood about the Europeans who invaded their lands.

Nearly all of what we know about the Indians in pre-colonial and colonial times was written down by Europeans, but Richter is dedicated to discerning the Indians’ meaning, intent and recognition from the contexts and styles of those accounts.

This is not the American history you learned in school.
