Really enjoyed this book. Historical and anthropological analysis of an Indian ledger war book, with lots of information about all the people involved, both European and Indigenous. Beautiful reproductions of the original ledger pages and also the other pages that had been added later. A great Ken Burns documentary could be based on this work.
