Description

Offers the first systematic and comprehensive comparative study of the defensive armour and fortifications of aboriginal Native Americans Demonstrates the socio-cultural factors that affected warfare and shaped the development of different types of armour and fortifications Photos and sketches of Indian armour from museum collections add a visual dimension to the text In this book, David E. Jones offers the first systematic comparative study of the defensive armour and fortifications of aboriginal Native Americans. Drawing data from ethno-historical accounts and archaeological evidence, he surveys the use of armour, shields, and fortifications both before European contact and during the historic period by American Indians from the Southeast to the Northwest Coast, from the Northeast Woodlands to the desert Southwest, and from the Sub-Arctic to the Great Plains. Jones also demonstrates the socio-cultural factors that affected warfare and shaped the development of different types of armour and fortifications. Extensive eyewitness descriptions of warfare, armour, and fortifications, as well as photos and sketches of Indian armour from museum collections, add a visual dimension to the text.
