Explore the ancient and the enduring in North America’s native cultures, from mound builders to modern missions.

This volume surveys the varied peoples of the continent, tracing first the colossal earthworks and ancient societies that predate written history, then moving to the diverse tribes and their traditions. It also profiles 19th‑century missionary work and the lives of hard‑fighting pioneers who helped shape both Indigenous communities and Canadian frontier history. The work blends archaeological detail with biographical sketches, offering a broad picture of settlement, trade, art, and daily life across a wide region.

Descriptions of cliff‑dwellings, artifacts, and early crafts, with a sense of daily life.
Accounts of missionary efforts, Indigenous communities, and frontier challenges.
