(More customer reviews)Written by history professor David La Vere (who has been specifically honored for his writings on Native Americans), The Texas Indians is a comprehensive history of the native people who lived in during the past twelve thousand years in what is today called Texas. The time span and comprehensive coverage ranges from the earliest prehistoric remains found, to a wide variety of Native American tribes (including the mound-building Caddos, the Karankawas and Atakapas who fished along the coast, town-dwelling Jumanos, and more) whose lives, cultures, and societies were thrown into tremendous upheaval with the coming of European colonizers in the 1500's. Apaches, Comanches, Kiowas, Puebloan Tiguas, and many others would in time come to know Texas as home as well, whether seeking refuge or simply coming to embrace the land. A welcome addition to Native American Studies shelves, The Texas Indians presents a simply fascinating and informative interplay of societies and cultures, and is written for non-specialist general readers and Native American History students alike.
