Atlas of Great Lakes Indian History (Volume 174 in The Civilization of the American Indian Series) Helen Hornbeck Tanner (Editor), Miklos Pinther (Cartographer) Winner of the Illinois State Historical Society Superior Achievement Award, 1987, and The American Society for Ethnohistory Erminie Wheeler — Voegelin Prize, 1988 The Indian history of the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, and particularly of the Ohio Valley, is so complex that it can be properly clarified only with the visual aid of maps. The Atlas of Great Lakes Indian History, in a sequence of thirty-three newly researched maps printed in as many as five colors, graphically displays the movement of Indian communities from 1640 to about 1871, when treaty making between Indian tribes and the United States government came to an end. The Atlas project was initiated in 1976 under the direction of Helen Hornbeck Tanner, Editor-in-Chief, who was assisted by Adele Hast, Associate Editor; Jacqueline Peterson; and Robert J. Surtees. American Indians, ethnohistorians, anthropologists, geographers, ecologists, linguists, and other specialists have served as consultants to the Atlas staff. The scholarship of their work is impressive, particularly in view of the scope of the book and the enormous amount of information it contains. Paperback: 224 pages Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press; Reprint edition (August 1, 1987) ISBN: 0806120568 Product Dimensions: 12.0 x 9.0 x 0.8 inches |
