Cannibalism, Headhunting and Human Sacrifice in North America: A History Forgotten, Paperback/George Franklin Feldman

Descriere

This riveting volume dispels the sanitized history surrounding Native American practices toward their enemies that preceded the European exploration and colonization of North America. ``We abandon truth when we gloss over the clashes between Native Americans and Europeans, encounters of parties equally matched in barbarity,`` says George Franklin Feldman, ``We neglect true history when we hide the uniqueness of the varied cultures that evolved during the thousands of years before Europeans invaded North America.`` The research is impeccable, the writing sparkling, and the evidence incontrovertible: headhunting and cannibalism were practiced by many of the native peoples of North America.
