Description

E James Dixon

," . . this book does a fine job of reviewing the available information on the peopling of the Americas and comes up with a hard-to-beat conclusion. . . . no one prior to Dixon has amassed the data to support the coastal migration theory . . . "Bones, Boats, and Bison" is the most comprehensive review of pre-8,000 B. P. culture history in the Americas to date and is well worth reading." "Dixon's book is a must read. . . . The writing is clear and easy to follow. . . the frequent use of maps, figures, and tables keeps the book from bogging down in minutia. Now, that's a real find!" "Dixon's work . . . brings many of the earlier theories into clearer focus. . . . [His] analysis of scientific exploration, to date, should be essential reading for scholars, students of Native American history, and general readers." . . . this book does a fine job of reviewing the available information on the peopling of the Americas and comes up with a hard-to-beat conclusion. . . . no one prior to Dixon has amassed the data to support the coastal migration theory . . .
