Publisher's Synopsis
The Red Man's Continent: A Chronicle of Aboriginal America is a historical account of the indigenous people of North America, written by the American explorer and geographer, Ellsworth Huntington. First published in 1919, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the culture, customs, and history of the Native American tribes that inhabited the continent before the arrival of European settlers. Huntington's work is divided into three parts: the first part provides an introduction to the physical geography of North America, while the second part delves into the history and culture of the various Native American tribes. The final part of the book focuses on the impact of European colonization on the indigenous peoples of the continent.Throughout the book, Huntington emphasizes the diversity and complexity of Native American societies, challenging the stereotypes and myths that were prevalent at the time. He also highlights the devastating impact of European diseases, forced relocation, and cultural assimilation on the indigenous peoples of North America.The Red Man's Continent is a seminal work in the study of Native American history and culture, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and historians today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
