A good book for the artifacts, and general life styles in the horse Indian phase, but quite sad about the early reservation experience, especially in the USA. The prose is workmanlike, and the mapping unexceptional. Not a cheerful entertaining read, but it wasn't meant for that. It has had several updated editions, thus even more useful in later editions.
