The Plains Indians, 19
ISBN: 9780890968178 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For the Plains Indians, the period from 1750 to 1890, often referred to as the traditional period, was an evolutionary time.

In The Plains Indians Paul H. Carlson charts the evolution and...
