Though the first European commentators described many Native American tribes as fiercely warlike, Jones (anthropology, U. of Central Florida, Orlando) could find virtually no systematic study of the accoutrements of war, and so provides one. Among the peoples he examines are the horse warriors of the high plains, the castle builders of the northeast, warriors with glittering shields in the southwest, the salmon kings of the northwest coast, and the strongbows of the southeast. He includes some photographs of artifacts, but mostly drawings and diagrams that are more informative for non-specialist readers. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
