"Biographical Dictionary of American Indian History to 1900 summarizes the lives of a wide range of Indians and non-Indians central to Native American history. In more than 1,000 A-to-Z entries, author Carl Waldman profiles men and women who have made significant contributions from early contact until 1900. Not limited to chiefs and war leaders, the book also includes traders, prophets and religious leaders, statesmen, artists and photographers, medicine men and women, and scholars and educators. This revised edition also features expanded subject indexes, a new further reading list/bibliography, and a new general index."--BOOK JACKET.
