In a landmark work for world literature, Charles Browne presents the history of all the indigenous tribes of North and South America, from the time of the first colonization of the Western Hemisphere in 1492 to the mid-19th century. Customs and traditions, peaceful encounters and terrible wars with the colonizers, mutual cruelties and massacres are described with astonishing vividness and impartiality, offering a wealth of information that is presented for the first time to the Greek reading audience.

The second book presents the Indians of Virginia and New England, the Narragansett, the Pequot, the Mohican, in other words, those with whom the first English colonists who set foot on the eastern shores of North America came into contact. It is the story of the brave captain John Smith and the princess of the indigenous people, Pocahontas, who was destined to become one of America's most important legends. It is the story of the famous Indian tribes who, at the height of their power, fiercely resisted the colonizers, but also consumed themselves in terrible civil strife, led by their great warriors: Philip, Metacom, and Uncas, the chief of the Mohican who became known through the immortal works of James Fenimore Cooper as "the last of the Mohicans." The series will be completed in five volumes:

- From Montezuma to the Seminole Wars
- From Pocahontas to the Last of the Mohicans
- From the Six Nations to the Wars of the Black Hawk
- From the struggles of the Cherokee to the uprising of the Sioux
- From the defeat of the Incas to the Araucanians of Chile
