"Very few people, other than George Gill, could have planned and coordinated this in-depth study of the human skeletal remains from both the prehistoric and early historic period of the Northwestern Plains....This [is a] remarkable addition to the literature of what the early humans in this geographic area were like and what happened to them."-William M. Bass, University of Tennessee "Even the casual history buff will find the volume of interest for the stories it tells and the history it illuminates. The work is an exemplar of a scientific monograph: it contains basic data for the use of future scholars, illuminates varying aspects of the record of human habitation focused on the Northwestern Plains, and offers hypotheses for future investigations-all presented within an integrated interdisciplinary framework. Hats off to George Gil and Rick Weathermon for a job well done!"-Great Plains Research "Once in a while a book comes along that just begs to be reviewed. Just such a volume because its usefulness, its new insights on Native American, soldier, and pioneer burials, its many innovative approaches to specific research questions; and its overall synthesis of burial research in the region."-The Kansas Anthropologist
