Summary
"This volume brings together a group of scholars to summarize what we know of the development of native American cultures in the southeastern United States after 1500. The authors integrate archaeological, documentary, and ethnohistorical evidence in the most comprehensive study of diverse south-eastern Indian cultures published in decades. Their essays examine the evolution and responses of select tribes as they became active participants in an increasingly complex world throughout the contact period."--Jacket
