Good book to start on

I thought the book was well written, and would have been happy with more detail. There's not a lot on Indian culture here, but the author did provide context to help explain how events played out. Indian tribes were portrayed, not as naive two-dimensional victims, but as competent peoples who just didn't have the resources or knowledge they needed (at first). I'm unfamiliar with this subject and, while I can't speak for the accuracy, the book seemed balanced and covered a lot of ground--a great book to start learning about Wisconsin Indians.
