Great Illustrated History of the Woodland Indian Culture

This is another of C. Keith Wilbur's illustrated history books, this one dealing with the Woodland Indian culture of North America. This book is filled with many wonderful illustrations and depictions of everything from spear and arrow points, to clothing, cookware, weapons, and religious rites. It follows the same general outline as his other book on the New England Indians, beginning with the appearance of the first Paleo Indians in North America about 30,000BC and chronicles the evolving cultures from the Archaic to later Woodland cutlures. Wilbur provides excellent introductions to the mysterious Adena and Hopewell people that dominated the Ohio Valley region over 2000 years ago, as well as the equally fascinating Mississippian Temple Mound culture that relected the grandeur and mystery of the Maya of Mexico.

This is an excellent book for someone with little or no prior knowledge of the early Woodland Indians and their culture, but is just as enjoyable for the initiated as well. It should lead the interested reader to more in-depth works on the subject
