ndians and Palefaces" is a colorful and evocative account of the 250-year struggle between two peoples for the possession of a continent. It chronicles the turbulent years from the arrival of the first colonists on the eastern seaboard of North America to the confinement on reservations of the last Plains Indians. The story is told from the point of view of the leading figures, both Indian and white, in that protracted struggle. High-points from their lives are portrayed by a series of vivid paintings, to which a wealth of detail is added by the lively and informative text. More than simply an introduction to a fascinating saga, it brings history alive to youngsters. ~GUNFIGHTERS OF THE WILD WEST Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Hickok and Wyatt Earp are just some of the names that conjure up an exciting picture of the Wild West. In its heyday 100 years ago, whether outlaws or lawmen, cowboys or killers, gamblers or fortune-seekers, they all fought their way through life with guns blazing and their backs well covered. The epic battles they fought, the OK Coral, Blaze Mill and many more, are now part of legend. This colorful book tells the exciting stories of these tough men, whose guns helped to shape the history of the Wild West.
