Summary "The Native Races of the Pacific States, Volume 5, Primitive History" by Hubert Howe Bancroft is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume serves as a comprehensive examination of the early history and origins of various Native American cultures, analyzing the complex theories regarding their ancestry and interactions with other civilizations. The work is particularly focused on the myriad myths, traditions, and archaeological evidence surrounding the peopling of America, providing insights into both indigenous cultures and European perspectives. At the start of the volume, Bancroft provides a preface that reflects on the challenges and scope of his project related to the Native Races, expressing gratitude for the scholarly support he has received. He begins Chapter I with an exploration of the various theories regarding the origin of the Americans, discussing historical perspectives from the Middle Ages through to modern interpretations. The text outlines the confusion and debate surrounding how a new continent could have been populated, highlighting the limitations imposed by existing religious and scientific knowledge of the time. Classical legends, such as those surrounding Noah's Ark and the Tower of Babel, as well as various flood myths from different cultures, are compared to contemporary views, setting the stage for an in-depth discussion of the historical narratives available.
