www.facebook.com/john316marshallI once read what makes a book great is; when you come to the end of the page, you feel compelled to turn it and read on. This is precisely how I felt when reading Charles C. Manning's books 1491 and 1493. At the end of both books, I was saddened to know there were no more pages to turn.
Forget everything you were taught about pre-Columbus America. There were few Indians here--wrong! The Indians were not hard on the environment--wrong! Most Indians hate the title Indian--wrong! On and on it goes.
Manning's writing style is excellent. He makes even the most mundane details exciting. Do yourself a favor. Buy these books, and start turning pages.
