| The Natchez Indians: A History to 1735. By James F. Barnett Jr. (Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 2007. xviii, 185 pp. $40.00, ISBN 978-1-57806-988-0.)

| The Natchez Indians is the first book-length history of one of the most prominent and influential Indian groups of the lower Mississippi Valley from at least the fifteenth century until the early eighteenth century. Given the scholarly attention the Natchez have received in histories of French Louisiana and in American archaeology, it is surprising that no full-length treatment has been written before now. James F. Barnett Jr.'s contribution is in combining the many historical and archaeological secondary sources with published primary materials into a relatively short, readable, and synthetic treatment of Natchez history. |
