Abstract
It is hard to imagine anyone better qualified to produce an Indian affairs atlas that Marquette University's Francis Paul Prucha, leading authority on federal Indian policy and author of many important works in Indian history. The project began after the Bureau of the Census neglected to draw up a series of maps showing Indian population by county in 1980 as it had in 1960 and 1970. Prucha filled the void by creating his own maps, and favorable reaction by scholars encouraged him to expand the project. The result is sure to become a standard reference tool.
