Atlas of Great Lakes Indian History Tanner, Helen Hornback (ed): Cartography by Miklos Pinther Publisher:  University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, Oklahoma, USA Year Published:  1987   Pages:  224pp   Price:  $34.50 pb   ISBN:  0-8061-1515-7 Book Type:  Atlases Library of Congress Number:  E78.G7A87   Dewey:  977 Resource Type:  Book Abstract:  The Atlas of Great Lakes Indian History focuses on the Great Lakes Region, in both Canada and the United States. It traces, with the aid of a series of excellent maps, the history of the Indian peoples of the area from the 1600's to the late nineteenth century. The book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Indian peoples and the context of Indian history over the past several centuries. An introductory chapter looks at the geographical and natural setting tracing tribal settlement patterns and movements and the influence of early white settlement. Maps accompanied by explanatory chapters, show the distribution of natural vegetation and subsistence patterns in the era before whites arrived. Successive maps then graphically illustrate major historical developments, such as the Iroquois Wars, the French era, epidemics, the frontier in transition, the distribution of Native and white settlements, land cessions, and reservations. There are a total of 33 maps, but the book is not simply an atlas: it provides a vivid insight into Indian history.
