Product Review
Choice : "An great survey of the Native American experience in the southern U.S. from the Spanish entrada until the Jacksonian removal . . . [Wright] presents the native peoples as they were and the contributions which they made to America without an excessive spilling of prose tears over the fact they were often victimized. . . . May be enjoyed by any reader who has an interest in an outstanding treatment in one volume of this complex subject."—Choice
Dee Brown : "Wright’s narrative, based upon exacting research, has filled a giant lacuna in our knowledge of the American past."—Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
American Indian Culture and Research Journal : "An great one-volume survey of aboriginal presence in the United States South. It is a well-written view of the tides of changes that flowed over the Indian peoples in the region as successive colonizers left their imprint on the land and the inhabitants."—American Indian Culture and Research Journal
South Carolina Historical Magazine : "A valuable source on the relationships between the South’s first inhabitants and later arrivals. After reading The Only Land They Knew,few will continue to see Indians as simple adversaries behind the frontier. Instead, one will envision them as they actually were: an integral part of the social and economic fabric of southern colonial life."—South Carolina Historical Magazine
