[Yaqiao Li · Rating 4 out of 5]

got it with $1 from The Word at Milton. very fine printing. book contains good factual knowledge of the history since European came, and quite a few British-centred comments. but is nonetheless a source to look into. contains very little about the first nation and history of the land before the 15th century.
