The Salzman bibliography on the Arapaho Indians is . . . complete and accessible. Salzman, who has researched Arapaho language and folklore for many years, begins his bibliography with a brief historical and ethnographic sketch. While the 702 entries in the main body of the bibliography are not annotated, each entry notes which of 32 content categories are pertinent. The index is organized in terms of these categories. The strength of the Arapaho bibliography is the extensive coverage of U.S. documents.
