Review title: Excellent, with a bend
Product review: After reading this book I found out why I always had such a black hole concerning Native American studies. In short, "settlers" (the land was already settled by natives) pillaged, raped, killed, and generally stole the land. This does not make a "feel good" history for America and thus does not make it into textbooks. This is one of many stark examples Loewen presents of the sad quality of textbooks. He properly cites his sources and leaves the evidence to speak for itself. However . . .Social science and a left lean guide him. Social scientists and historians exhibit sibling rivalry at times, but I take his critiques constructively. He leans left in the final chapters which isn't bad, but I've heard it before. The right side of the spectrum could listen and take it constructively too.All told a good book. Though it did make me want to crawl under a rock and say "I give up!" I will find his lessons useful when I teach my own high school History classes.Sincerely,Z
