Publisher's Synopsis
The Red Man's Continent: A Chronicle of Aboriginal America is a historical book written by Ellsworth Huntington and first published in 1919. The book provides a comprehensive account of the indigenous peoples of North America before the arrival of Europeans. It covers the pre-Columbian period, the arrival of the first Europeans, and the subsequent colonization and displacement of the native populations.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different region of North America and the various tribes that inhabited it. Huntington provides a detailed description of the culture, religion, and social structure of each tribe, as well as their interactions with neighboring tribes and with the Europeans who arrived later.The book also discusses the impact of European colonization on the native populations, including the spread of disease, forced relocation, and the destruction of traditional ways of life. Huntington argues that the arrival of Europeans marked a turning point in the history of North America, leading to the eventual domination of European culture and the displacement of the indigenous peoples.Overall, The Red Man's Continent is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of North America and the indigenous peoples who inhabited it before the arrival of Europeans.
