"Indians Illustrated is a good read that strongly contributes to our knowledge of American Indians' depictions and stereotyping while bringing the world of nineteenth-century printed press into our own homes." --American Indian Quarterly  "In Indians Illustrated, Coward not only has written a book that clearly and decisively achieves the primary objective of providing a history of the development and consequences of Native American stereotypes, but he also provides a framework useful for anyone who seeks to understand stereotyping of any group in American media."--Journalism History  "Coward provides a fascinating look at how powerful the visual image can be on the development of cultural attitudes."--Jhistory
