Rachel,
Sounds like an interesting book. Sorry I can’t help you, but if you think the author is or was a prof at the UA Pine Bluff, you could inquire there. The library could probably help you.

Some time between 1988 and 1998 I read a book about America before the White Man – I don’t recall the exact title or the authors’ name, however I feel like he was a professor at a university in Arkansas – perhaps Pine Bluff. Can you help me find information on this book. It was so interesting and I have looked for it over the years with no success.
thank you much!
