"A model of clarity and lightly worn erudition, and it contains the best and most straightforward description of the four Columbus voyages and their implications for the Amerindians I have seen. . . . Columbus had found large, permanent villages of Tainos Indians in Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, each governed by a chief or cacique, and each containing an average of two thousand people. Rouse vividly describes their everyday life."―Kenneth Maxwell, New York Times Book Review
"[A] masterpiece of the cultural/historical approach . . . informative and accessible . . . Highly recommended for a general audience and anyone interested in the [Columbus] quincentenary."―William S. Dancey, Library Journal
"A fascinating account."―Philip Morrison, Scientific American
"A highly readable work. . . . This timely book is probably the best account ever of the Taino Indians."—Francis Poole, Magill Book Reviews
"[An] excellent study, illustrated with many fine maps, charts, line drawings. . . . [For] all levels of readers."―Choice
"The best and most complete book on the Tainos by a scholar who has studied their culture all over the Greater Antilles for half a century."―Ricardo E. Alegrķa
"We are fortunate indeed to have at last the authoritative and up-to-date account of the Taino Indians from the acknowledged dean of Taino scholars. And just in time so that we may remember them too during this Quincentennial year."―Kirkpatrick Sale
"In view of the quincentenary of the voyages of Columbus this is a timely book. It is also a significant one, for it is the first major revision of Caribbean archaeology in English since 1935. No other American archaeologist is better suited to write such an encompassing volume."―David R. Watters
