Prehistoric America (1893)

Prehistoric America, written by Marquis de Nadaillac and published in 1893, is a comprehensive study of the pre-Columbian civilizations that existed in North and South America. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the origins of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, their migration patterns, their social and political structures, their art and architecture, their religious beliefs and practices, and their daily lives.De Nadaillac draws on a wealth of archaeological and historical evidence to provide a detailed and engaging account of the prehistoric cultures of the Americas. He examines the civilizations of the Aztecs, Incas, Maya, and other indigenous groups, as well as the lesser-known cultures that existed throughout the continent.Throughout the book, de Nadaillac emphasizes the importance of understanding the pre-Columbian civilizations of the Americas in their own right, rather than simply as precursors to European colonization. He argues that these civilizations were complex and sophisticated in their own right, and that they made significant contributions to the development of human civilization.Prehistoric America is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Americas, and it remains an important work of scholarship on the subject to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
