• "Members of the Indian community shared with the
authors many of their most private grievances, concerns, folklore,
legends, and hopes for the future. This joint effort has resulted
in a book that is instructive and informative to all people and
will help to clarify and eliminate many misconceptions and myths."

• "Mixing archaeology, ethnohistory, and modern tribal
lore, Egloff and Woodward have assembled an extremely readable general
introduction to the 12,000-year history of Native Americans in Virginia.
This wonderfully attractive and beautifully illustrated volume is
bound to instill the excitement of archaeology in readers and lists
the resources available to interested persons that would allow them
to follow up on that enthusiasm in a meaningful way."
