Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Osprey Men-at-Arms (228)
The Woodland cultural areas of the eastern half of America has been the most important in shaping its history. This volume details the history, culture and conflicts of the 'Woodland' Indians, a name assigned to all the tribes living east of the Mississippi River between the Gulf of Mexico and James Bay, including the Siouans, Iroquians, and Algonkians. In at least three major battles between Indian and Euro-American military forces more soldiers were killed than at the battle of LittleBighorn in 1876, when George Custer lost his command. With the aid of numerous illustrations and photographs, including eight full page colour plates by Richard Hook, this title explores the history and culture of the American Woodland Indians.

Generally, Osprey books tackle topics that are too large for their limited space. This is one of them. 50 pages of text to tackle the topic of Woodland Indians-their cultural differences, history, dress, weapons, tactics, etc., is pretty daunting. 5,000 pages might not do the job. It seems to me that author Johnson and the publisher might have served their readers better with a little more focus. The plates are nice, some with as many as six figures, but I believe that separate books for each of the three different language groups identified in the text would better serve the reader.. ( )
