{"product_id":"corn-among-the-indians-of-george-f-will-9781163978603","title":"Corn Among The Indians Of The Upper Missouri (1917)","description":"Corn Among The Indians Of The Upper Missouri is a book written by George F. Will and first published in 1917. The book is a detailed exploration of the role that corn played in the lives of Native American tribes living along the Upper Missouri River in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Will's research is based on his extensive fieldwork and interviews with members of tribes such as the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara, who were known for their advanced agricultural practices and their use of corn as a staple crop.The book covers a range of topics related to the cultivation, processing, and consumption of corn among these tribes, including the various types of corn grown, the tools and techniques used to plant and harvest the crop, and the ways in which it was prepared and preserved for later use. Will also explores the cultural and spiritual significance of corn to these tribes, as well as its role in their economic and social systems.Throughout the book, Will provides a wealth of detail and insight into the daily lives and practices of these tribes, painting a vivid picture of a way of life that was deeply connected to the land and the natural world. He also offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex relationships between Native American tribes and the European settlers and traders who were beginning to encroach on their lands and disrupt their traditional ways of life.Overall, Corn Among The Indians Of The Upper Missouri is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Native American tribes in the Great Plains region, as well as for those interested in the history of agriculture and food production in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
