Powhatan's Mantle: Indians in the Colonial Southeast (Indians of the Southwest)

Twelve original essays highlight new approaches and current work by leading historians, anthropologists, and archaeologists. Contributors are Helen Hornbeck Tanner; Amy Turner Bushnell; Daniel Usner, Jr.; Stephen Potter; Patricia Galloway; James Merrell; Martha McCartney; Marvin Smith; Vernon James Knight, Jr.; and the editors, Peter Wood; Gregory A. Waselkov; and M. Thomas Hatley, who also provided a preface and introductions to the book's three thematic sections (Geography and Population, Politics and Economics, Symbols and Society). Combining ethnohistory, archaeology, anthropology, cartography, and demography, Powhatan’s Mantle is a provocative introduction to the dramatically changing world of southeastern Indians during the colonial era.
