Book review:

Daily Life of Native Americans:

From Post-Columbian through

Nineteenth-Century America

Alice Nash and Christoph Strobel

Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 2006

Daily Life of Native Americans is a completely accessible and well-researched account of the daily lives—in social, religious, emotional, and human frames of reference—of Native Americans in the early centuries of their interaction with other peoples of the world.

Nash and Strobel provide ample context for the challenging and devastating changes that Indians faced, surmounted, and accepted in the decades after Europeans “discovered” that two unknown continents existed, populated by millions of people who had developed their own civilizations for thousands of years.

The end-of-chapter notes and the bibliography are a bounty for students of history.
