On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe by Caroline Dodds Pennock
5.0
An incredibly underrated book that all self-described “history buffs” should read.
A historian does her best to reframe the Euro-centric “age of discovery” by focusing on the stories of indigenous Americans who traveled to Europe.
Despite scant and/or biased source material, Dodds Pennock diligently highlights a variety of experiences & perspectives that we don’t hear about in school while also humanizing them. An appropriate Thanksgiving-time read.
