Good Sources

This book is a great compilation of the interactions between the European colonists and the Natives of America. I think it is geared specifically towards people studying the topic. The author does a good job of giving each story/source some context and then describing the implications of the interaction.

Had to read this for school. It was all right. It gave the idea of how the Indians felt from their point of view.
