Just plain wrong about the plains...
I purchased this book based on the other positive reviews, planning to use it in a unit on Pre-Columbian America. Unfortunately, it contains at least one glaring error -- and if I can spot one major error, I imagine there must be others. The Plains Indians didn't have horses until after they obtained them from the Spanish, so the entire section on the Plains Indians is wrong.
