ADAMS INDIAN PEACE MEDAL BOOK PUBLISHED
James C. Spilman writes: "I have just received a copy of
John W. Adams' new book “Indian Peace Medals” or
“His Majesties Sometimes Allies.” This book is an absolute
gem in both content and as an example of excellence in the
bookmaker’s craft and represents a stellar addition to the
numismatic resources now available on early American
numismatics.
Adams has departed from the current habits of modern
numismatic writers by presenting in-depth historical
backgrounds to accompany each of the medallic types of
Indian Peace Medals produced during the American colonial
era as well as the War of 1812 era. A substantive number
of historical inaccuracies of earlier researchers and
writers have been corrected in his book.
For those of us with an interest in the Indian Peace Medals
in America - we have a new bible ."
500 copies were printed by George Frederick Kolbe.
