One Vast Winter Count

Reviews / Votes

"A splendid overview of the Native American West to the end of the eighteenth century."-Larry McMurtry, New York Review of Books -- Larry McMurtry New York Review of Books "Author of First Peoples and a distinguished Dartmouth historian, Calloway concentrates on the Indian experience from the Appalachians to the Pacific, in a time frame from prehistory to the 18th century. The scope is staggering, but Calloway masters it, demonstrating a remarkable command of a broad spectrum of historical, ethnographic and archaeological sources including printed material and oral traditions... One Vast Winter Count is both a major work in its own right and a magnificent first volume in Nebraska's new History of the American West series."-Publishers Weekly (starred review) Publishers Weekly
