Om mig Mom. Wife. Resident of eastern coast of the U.S.

My current interest is the Trans-Mississippian West. Everything from the Cahokia to the last of the cattle drives. Although this could change, of course, as I'm actually new to North American studies and am still finding my way.

My previous research and reading was in early medieval: Franks and Gaul, with some excursions as far forward as the 14th Century, and as far back as Romulus and Remus.

Om mit bibliotek It is mostly in boxes in the basement, and while extensive in scope (if not breath), what you see here on LT are primarily my history reads: books and articles.

WOW! What a very interesting library you have.

No problem; hope you enjoy the book as much as I did! I've been extremely interested in Native Americans and pre-Columbian history ever since reading Sonia Bleeker's books back in elementary school (which is almost pre-Columbian history itself!). Unfortunately most of those books are now boxed up in my parents' storage shed and I haven't been able to enter them here. Still, are there any you'd recommend? I'm always on the lookout for good reads.

Wow, thanks for the compliment! Glad to know you enjoyed reading it.

On a totally unrelated note, if you're interested in Cahokia and pre-modern Native American history more generally, you might want to have a look at Thomas Lewis's Tribes That Slumber. The most recent edition dates to about twenty years ago, but it's still a great volume regardless.

1491 is great. I had a similar experience to you, but I finished 1491 before going off to read other offshoots of this theme, including Dugard's Last Voyage of Columbus, which was a nice book-end. I had already read A Short History of the Destruction of the Indies by Las Cases and American Colonies by Taylor, so in some ways I read 1491 out of chronological order ... What's the best one about Cahokia that you've read so far?

Hi Pam -- Did you read 1491? I notice we share it. I thought it was great. I met the author, Charles Mann and he is quite the genius.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who shudders when someone wants to borrow a book ...

If you liked Founding Faith, you may want to check out Susan Jacoby's outstanding "Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism". Great stuff!

ThePam, After you mentioned in Talk how good Founding Faith was, I checked out its Amazon product page and it sounds like something I'd like to read, not right now, but this year--so thanks for pointing out the book.

Welcome!!

skrevet af BillandKaren kl. 1:21 pm (EST) den Dec 12, 2007

Thanks! Axtell and Max Moorhead are classics. Moorhead was a very careful and thorough researcher. He is a scion of the Bolton family tree, so he might interest you. Axtell is a friendly read. Sometimes he is a bit glib and too intuitive in his conclusions. If you are interested in some reading that is on the cutting edge of ethnohistory today I'd recommend James Brooks or Theodore Binnema, particularly if interested in the Trans-Mississippi West.

I have it, although I haven't read it yet.

skrevet af Marshdrifter kl. 1:02 pm (EST) den Nov 18, 2007

I'd say you could start with Tim Pauketat's Ancient Cahokia and the Mississippians. It's mostly focused on Cahokia, though, and not any of the southeastern sites. There are some things in the book that I don't agree with and Pauketat is a little too sure about how he perceives things, but I think it'd be an excellent start.

You also might want to try Cahokia, the Great Native American Metropolis by Bioloine Whiting Young and Melvin Fowler. This is more about the excavation of Cahokia than the city itself, but it's very enjoyable and you still learn some things about it.

skrevet af Marshdrifter kl. 10:46 pm (EST) den Nov 17, 2007

Thank you. My Mississippian interests tend to be focused on Cahokia and it's influence, but also the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex. If you have any questions, I'll try to help.
