Negative Positive
Title: Good Survey, But Now Dated
Review: (First of all, it should be pointed out that "Native American" in the title does not refer to indigenous inhabitants, the book was written before that term had come into use. It refers to anarchism that had not been imported from elsewhere.) This gives a good summary of several different anarchist traditions in America, starting with antinomianism among colonials and later religious non-resistants, up to the anarcho-individualists like Benjamin Tucker and Lysander Spooner. The last chapter compares them with the imported anarcho-communism of Emma Goldman etc. The book is short and treatment is often summary, but it makes a good introductory guide.
