The Bloody & Brave History of Native American Warriors & the Women Who Supported Them Illustrated

The Bloody & Brave History of Native American Warriors & the Women Who Supported Them Illustrated Review



Introduction

• 15 New Historic Illustrations & Photographs Added to this Revised and Updated Edition
• Foreword and Edited by Chet Dembeck
There is nothing more inspiring nor tragic than the bloody and brave history of Native American warriors and the heroic deeds of their women.

Fighting against incredible odds, such as being hopelessly outnumbered, out gunned and subjected to deadly diseases brought by a hostile invader, the American Indians fought on almost to the last man, women and child.

This 399-page put together by the late Edwin Sabin gives a thorough yet readable account of the awesome feats and bravery of the great warrior leaders of these ancient peoples that occupied and cultivated this continent thousands of years before the white man stumbled upon it by mistake.
