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. For more information, write to George at Numislit@compuserve.com
