An impressive array of offensive weaponry and battle tactics gave rise to an equally impressive range of defensive technology. Native Americans constructed very effective armor and shields using wood, bone, and leather. Their fortifications ranged from simple refuges to walled and moated stockades to multiple stockades linked in strategic defensive networks. In this book, David E. Jones offers the first systematic comparative study of the defensive armor and fortifications of aboriginal Native Americans. Drawing data from ethnohistorical accounts and archaeological evidence, he surveys the use of armor, shields, and fortifications both before European contact and during the historic period by American Indians from the Southeast to the Northwest Coast, from the Northeast Woodlands to the desert Southwest, and from the Sub-Arctic to the Great Plains. Jones also demonstrates the sociocultural factors that affected warfare and shaped the development of different types of armor and fortifications. Extensive eyewitness descriptions of warfare, armor, and fortifications, as well as photos and sketches of Indian armor from museum collections, add a visual dimension to the text. 606 $aIndians of North America$xWarfare 606 $aIndian weapons$zNorth America 606 $aIndian armor$zNorth America 606 $aFortification$zNorth America 615 0$aIndians of North America$xWarfare. 615 0$aIndian weapons 615 0$aIndian armor 615 0$aFortification 676 $a623.4/41 700 $aJones$b David E.$f1942-$0196542 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812441603321 996 $aNative North American armor, shields, and fortifications$94017561 997 $aUNINA
