Title: Well done...
Product review: One Vast Winter Count is an impressive effort that possesses a scope both expansive and easily traced. Typically, one is presented French, British, and Spanish regional influence upon local indigenous populations. Calloway provides this, but also discusses the impact of each regional upheaval on the whole. One sees how the Iroquois could affect the Comanche and the Frenchman rattle the Don.Equally refreshing is Calloway's impartiality. He is no one's apologist. His narrative is matter-of-fact and free of any apparent agenda. The book's subtitle is a bit of a misnomer as Calloway expounds quite frequently upon peoples and events substantially east of the Mississipi. But, no matter, for this serves to complete a remarkable story.Occasionally dry, but fundamentally entertaining, One Vast Winter Count is a comprehensive survey deserving the attention of anyone interested in the Native American story. I received an education worth the price of admission. 4+ stars for a job well done.
