Bücher von Helen C. Rountree

Drawing on decades of researching the ethnohistory of the coastal mid-Atlantic, Helen Rountree reconstructs the Indigenous world the Roanoke colonists encountered in the 1580s. Blending research with accessible narrative, Rountree reveals in detail the social, political, and religious lives of Native Americans before European colonization.

Authors describe the characteristics and traditions of each tribe and also the plants and animals native to each ecozone and essential components of the Indians' habitat and diet, demonstrating how these geographical and ecological differences shaped their cultural and daily everyday lives.
