More Information
Before the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, what was happening in North America? Who was there? What civilizations rose and fell? For years, the answers to these questions have been shrouded in mystery.
At the time of European contact, a diverse world of Native peoples thrived across the continent. What was their backstory? Who were the ancestors of the Sioux? Where did the Navajo come from? What about the Apache, the Comanche, the Cherokee?
They Had Names is the result of a multi-year deep dive into genetics, indigenous histories, archaeology, and linguistics—an ambitious quest to uncover answers to these questions.
In this book, you will explore pre-Columbian links between civilizations of the Old World and civilizations of the New. You’ll read about unexpected connections between Mexico and tribes north of the Rio Grande. You’ll also discover that ancient ruins from North American civilizations still exist, that these ruins tell dramatic stories, and that they can still be visited today.
On this continent, peoples and kingdoms rose and fell, great battles were fought, heroes were enshrined—heroes whose names have been preserved.

Customer Reviews
I need to say, the physical book is better than the e-book. In the back of the book are many pictures and maps that are frequently referenced in the text.
I do recommend this book. Keep in mind, it is not a quick or light read. It is very informative. While informative from a historical standpoint, to include it in a students education would be best in 11th or 12th grade.
Jeanson does an excellent job at tackling a subject that still has a lot to be learned. He simplifies deep topics in a way that the every day person can comprehend. I found the DNA-based family trees, topography, and language connections to be fascinating.
This book addresses things about our history that I never was taught in school and I can’t wait to share this with my kids as they grow up. I would probably introduce this book at the high school level.
I would think this is a must have resource for every Homeschool family, especially those who live in/ come from North America. I do believe that international families could also benefit from reading about this time in history because it reveals not just the history of a specific nation but the tendencies of the human heart. I appreciate how the author brought in Biblical insights. Because without the Word of God as a lens through which we view everything, I believe we will only see in part.
