About this Item

Paperback. Featuring 155 color photographs and illustrations, Native American Weapons surveys weapons made and used by American Indians north of present-day Mexico from prehistoric times to the late nineteenth century, when European weapons were in common use. Over thousands of years the weapons were developed and creatively matched to their environment--highly functional and often decorative, carried proudly in tribal gatherings and in war. This expanded edition of Ruby and Brown's classic history of the Cayuse Indians tells their story from the early years through the 19th century, when the tribe was forced to move to a reservation.
