Review & Description
Before Europeans came to the vast region that is now the United States, over one million Native Americans inhabited the land, from the Northern ice wastes to the Southern swamps, from the Eastern forests to the Western plains. After four centuries of nearly continuous warfare, fewer than four hundred thousand remained. This is the dramatic, heartrending account of their survival...against all odds. John Tebbel, who is one-sixteenth Indian, the descendant of an historic Michigan family, worked for major newspapers and magazines until he became chairman of the Journalism Department at New York University, where he divided his time between teaching and writing. Keith Jennison was a Canadian, born in Winnipeg, who spent most of his life in Vermont and New York City, where he was a legendary figure in book publishing, as well as an author of books, mostly about Vermont. Starting as a book salesman for Harcourt, Brace in 1935, he held major positions in several New York houses, and at one time headed his own. With John Tebbel, he helped found the Graduate Institute of Book Publishing at NYU, the first of its kind in the country. Read more
