The American Nation: A History, Vol. 2

In "European Background of American History," historian Edward Potts Cheyney presents a detailed exploration of North America and its indigenous peoples as encountered by European colonizers. This second volume of "The American Nation: A History" offers insight into the continent's physical landscape, resource availability, and the cultural framework of Native American tribes. Emphasizing the significance of geography, flora, and fauna, Cheyney also addresses the distribution and social structures of various indigenous groups, aiming to provide a comprehensive introduction to American ethnology and history for both scholars and general readers.
