Native Americans' Pennsylvania. By Daniel K. Richter. (University Park: Pennsylvania Historical Association, 2005. 100p. Notes, suggestions for further reading. $12.95.)

For Native Americans' Pennsylvania, Daniel K. Richter draws on his extensive expertise in early Native American history and, as usual, produces a tasty morsel that is both readable and satisfying. Although not entirely academic in purpose, the author has included a substantial bibliographic essay that lays out the trajectory of research on Pennsylvania from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century, highlighting the important intersections of anthropology, genealogy, and history as they helped elucidate the lives of native peoples. This multidisciplinary approach emphasizes the complex ways that cultures adapted and survived despite centuries of social and cultural disruption. As a whole, Richter argues that Pennsylvania natives' experience "revealed national trends in starkest relief" (p. 92). In other words, to understand Native Americans' Pennsylvania is to understand the broader American Indian experience.
