From the Author:

Find out what happened to the Ancient Ancestors of the SW
I spent 2 years photographing the ancient ruins of the Southwest for this book. Of the more than 4,000 images taken for the project, this book contains approximately 65 of the best. From the grand vistas of the Southwest to the details of the artifacts, I did my best to capture the essence of these people. Gregory Schaaf has woven a tale of oral histories, ancient legends and myths, as well as scientific data to trace the footsteps of these Ancient Ancestors from ruin to ruin. The reader will begin to understand the reasons for the migrations, where these people went and what happened to their communities. By following the stories of over 200 clans and profiling 30 ancient sites, Schaaf gives a life to these ancient people of the American Southwest.
