Summary: The Indian Slave Trade
Review: A wonderful read! This is one of my favorite books. The way the author seamlessly pulls together information that has been passed by numerous historians before him, and writes about it in clearly stated but intricate text is outstanding. The Indian Slave trade us unlike any book I have ever read. No wonder it won the Bancroft Award. Give it a try, you won't be dissapointed!

Summary: The best book on the subject
Review: I have been doing research on the Indian slave trade and this book is a gem! It explains the political and social climate so to explain the "whys" of something that is difficult for 21st century minds to comprehend.

Review: I'm not sure what to say about this book. It just flows so smoothly that, while I don't consider the topic wholly engaging, I'm having as easy a time with it as if it was a gripping novel. Even reading this as an assignment, it's not a burden at all. Gallay is such a masterful author, and the book is so accessible, that you move seamlessly along as if the words were your own thoughts. I really have no higher praise for its quality than that.
