The Red Man's Continent (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781508709862)

The Red Man's Continent-A Chronicle of Aboriginal America is a classic Native American history text by Ellsworth Huntington. In writing this book of Native American history the author has aimed first to present in readable form the main facts about the geographical environment of American history. Many important facts have been omitted or have been touched upon only lightly because they are generally familiar. On the other hand, special stress has been laid on certain broad phases of geography which are comparatively unfamiliar. One of these is the similarity of form between the Old World and the New, and between North and South America; another is the distribution of indigenous types of vegetation in North America; and a third is the relation of climate to health and energy. In addition to these subjects, the influence of geographical conditions upon the life of the primitive Indians has been emphasized.
