Review
The price is based on Amazon and as a paperback. Great for research, the information might be PG13 ish. If there wasn't enough women in a tribe brothers might share a wife. Women slept with their grandmothers, and if a man wanted a woman for a wife he slept at the grandmother's feet. If the girl didn't want him she went and slept with her mother. The book has five chapters: a harsh landscape, society and spirituality, making art, disrupted lives, and a changing world. The book also includes sections: notable Great Basin Indians, timeline, glossary, source note, selected bibliography, further information, and an index. Illustrations are mostly photos.
Overall Book Score: good
