  Penobscot Man     Speck, Frank G.     (Non-fiction donated by a patron)
     This book is ethnographic classic, written by an anthropologist trained to reconstruct 

     traditional Native American lifeways. The author attempts to reconstruct the lifestyles, or 

     cultures, of the native American before the arrival of Europeans upon the continent. 

     Penobscot Man deserves credit for information not found elsewhere. It gives insight into

     aboriginal life and an unusually good account of making a canoe, with other valuable   

     information.  Penobscot Man gives more authentic information about the Penobscot tribe

     than can be found in any other book.

  Stone Prayers: Native American Constructions for the Eastern Seaboard     Hoffman, Curtiss                                                                      (Non-fiction)
     Scattered throughout the woodlands and fields of the eastern seaboard of the United States

     and Canada are tens of thousands of stone monuments. These stone constructions have

     been the subject of debate among archaeologists and antiquarians for the past seventy-five

     years. Prominent among the competing hypotheses have been the allegations that all of

     these structures were built by colonial farmers removing rocks from their fields; or that they

     were built by pre-Columbian transatlantic voyagers; or that they are the result of natural

     deposition by glaciers or downslope erosion; or that they were constructed as sacred

     places by the indigenous peoples of the region.  The latter hypothesis has gained

     significant attention over the past decade, as the result of strong and vocal support from

     the regional descendant indigenous communities for the preservation of these monuments,

     called by them "stone prayers," from encroachment and desecration by development

     interests. The purpose of this book is to provide quantitative support for the indigenous

     construction hypothesis, by providing a framework firmly and explicitly situated in the

     scientific method to test the four hypotheses above against a robust set of data--a total of

     5,550 sites from the entire region.
