| 1. |  | The Last Days of the Incas
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
The Last Days of the Incas is by far the most interesting history/non fiction book I have ever read. It reads much like a novel, brining the history of the Spanish conquest of Peru into vivid clarity and making the book extremely hard to put down. If you have an interest in the history of Peru, or... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from House of Collectibles
Customer Review:
That's right. Wait just a darn minute and examine what you are looking for in an arrowhead book. Know what you are getting into. Some say that this book is the worst while others say it is the greatest. Both may be true. If you have every arrowhead book printed and every edition of those books, you... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 7. | ![]() | The Tainos: Rise and Decline of the People Who Greeted Columbus
from Yale University Press
Customer Review:
This book is quite outdated. It still seem to think that Tainos became extinct. After testing the DNA of hundreds of Puerto Ricans, it was discovered that the reports of extinction were highly (very) exagerated. Not a surprise for those of us who knew better. Still there is some information that is... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Ishi was found, about the age of 50, in a desperate and destitute condition near... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from University of Oklahoma Press
Price: $15.16
Customer Review:
While I agree with most of the author's conclusions, I will say it was written in a very disjointed and hard to read style. Very typical "academic" professorial book. Very dry, wordy, and it went off on tangets about the virtues of archaeology vs oral tradition that had little to do with the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
