Great Basin Indians: An Encyclopedic History by Michael Hittman

5.0

I am looking forward to having the paperback version of this book as it will be on my shelf as an essential resource in the study of Native American History. 

With a lifetime of experience in Native American Anthropology, Michael Hittman presents us with a summary of Great Basin Indians and then provides information in encyclopedia style. 

As I delved into the advance reading copy (ARC), I must admit that I could not fully retain all the information I desired. References provided give a wealth of bunny trails to go down, and getting through the massive amount of information will not be a short-lived project. It is a book that warrants a re-read.

I plan to revisit this book at a more leisurely pace, taking the time to absorb its content gradually. Once I have thoroughly engaged with its contents, it will become an invaluable reference book that I can turn to time and again. 

Having this book on my shelf will not only enhance my understanding of Native American History but also serve as a gateway to countless intriguing avenues of research.
