One Vast Winter Count

"A splendid overview of the Native American West to the end of the eighteenth century."—Larry McMurtry, New York Review of Books

"Author of First Peoples and a distinguished Dartmouth historian, Calloway concentrates on the Indian experience from the Appalachians to the Pacific, in a time frame from prehistory to the 18th century. The scope is staggering, but Calloway masters it, demonstrating a remarkable command of a broad spectrum of historical, ethnographic and archaeological sources including printed material and oral traditions. . . . One Vast Winter Count is both a major work in its own right and a magnificent first volume in Nebraska's new History of the American West series."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
