Abstract

"In the course of 16th century Europeans passed through large parts of what are now the United States and Canada; their accounts of what land and life were like are the earliest we have. Applying the methods he used so well in the Early Spanish Main, Professor Sauer now reinterprets these materials, providing a view of Indians and the land of North America as they were before repeated contacts and settlement caused everything to change."--Front flap.
