From the cover: "The De Soto expedition was the first major encounter of Europeans with North American Indians in the eastern half of the United States. De Soto and his army of over 600 men, including 200 cavalry, spent four years traveling through what is now Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. For anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians the surviving De Soto chronicles are valued for the unique ethnological information they contain. These documents, available here in a two volume set, are the only detailed eyewitness records of the most advanced native civilization in North America—the Mississippian culture—a culture that vanished in the wake of European contact."

1917 history of South Carolina. From the preface: "William Gilmore Simms, the editor's grandfather, wrote in 1840 for his children and for use in the schools "The History of South Carolina from Its First European Discovery to Its erection into a Republic."

The editor offers in the present volume a revised and enlarged edition of the third edition of the work, intended primarily for use as a text book in the schools of South Carolina."

From the cover: "Upon its original publication in 1989, James Merrell’s definitive history of Catawbas and their neighbors in the southern piedmont helped signal a new direction in the study of Native Americans, serving as a model for their reintegration into American history. In an introduction written for this twentieth anniversary edition, Merrell recalls the book’s origins and considers its place in the field of early American history in general and Native American history in particular, both at the time it was first published and two decades later."
