More Native Americans lived in what is now the southern United States than in any other section of the country. The World of Southern Indians is a fascinating account of the South's first people. Virginia Pounds Brown and Laurella Owens’s collaborative effort synthesizes much of the wide-ranging historical information on Southern Indian tribes. The authors have performed a vital service by bringing together information on Southern Indians from many sources and weaving it into a clear, readable story.
This book will be useful to students, teachers, and librarians.
