Students of Shawnee history owe a debt of gratitude to Randolph Noe. This meticulously annotated bibliography offers not only a thorough survey of the published materials on the Shawnee, but also a guide to primary sources that is truly invaluable. In scope the entries, 2,779 in number organized in thirteen chapters, range from the precontact period to the present. The annotations are succinct but always useful, as is the historical introduction. This book belongs on the shelf of every serious student of the Shawnee, and in every collection of reference materials on American Indians. * Register of the Kentucky Historical Society *
