The Great Indian Wars 1540-1890: After assembling my new DVD shelf (which I may post pictures of once the room is funny cleaned out) I settled in and finished this documentary box set I received.

While BCI has moved towards releasing licensed programs, I still was not expecting much with this set. My expectation was that it would be a cheap documentary, much like that of Dan Dalton's boring films. To my surprise this was a new documentary produced by and for BCI and the quality was really quite good. What I did like was how the documentary was not a white wash of political correctness which plagues high school history classes. Never once were the Indians portrayed as a Utopian peaceful society. It also explained that the life following the buffalo was a relatively new way of life to the Indians when the Americans moved west.

I recommend this set to anyone who enjoys History Channel style documentaries or the topic of the Indian wars.
