With these history books covering huge expanses of both time and peoples, organization of the information is key. Ball nails the organization, making the entire book easy to follow and remember. He discusses things from native perspectives, explains cultural differences between tribes, and gives time to both women and children. I never got bored.

The content of this book is great. It's fascinating and tells North American history through a lens that is often ignored. Native Americans are so often relegated to the sidelines of American history, despite accounting for the majority of the past several thousand years of it.
Which is why it's so sad this book is riddled with egregious typos. From nonsense words like "unrsder", to mixing up East and West. These egregious errors make me doubt the accuracy of the text, which is a shame when it delivers incredibly important information in such an accessible way.
I dearly hope another edition of this book is released, with actual proofreading this time.
