Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This book offers a detailed introduction to the tribes of the New England region - the very first native American peoples affected by contact with the French and English colonists. By 1700 several tribes had already been virtually destroyed, and many others were soon reduced and driven from their lands by disease, war or treachery. The tribes were also drawn into the savage frontier wars between the French and the British. The final defeat of French Canada and the subsequent unchecked expansion of the British colonies resulted in the virtual extinction of the region's Indian culture, which is only now being revived by small descendant communities.

This is a great visual guide to the costume and material culture of the Indian tribes of New England and the surrounding regions, spanning the whole range of their history from BC times to the modern day (though the text naturally focuses on their wars with the Americans and Europeans in the 18th and 19th Centuries). I think that Jonathan Smith is pretty much for Osprey's Native American titles what Angus McBride is for the ancient and medieval ones; the man's talent revealed in the eight colour plates is breathtaking. Overall this is probably the best book on the `Indians' Osprey has published so far, and gets a little more in depth than some of the others.

Very nice short history, and a great painting guide. Highly recommended.

Michael Johnson has through Osprey produced a series on the amerindian tribes.
For these interested in brief sketch histories of the tribes of the regions they are quite good.
This one on the tribes of New England pretty much serves that purpose.
For those interested in period information there isn't that much.
The illustrations by Jonathan Smith are quite good though figure A6's hands are too big and too mature for a child's.
