[From dust jacket] "The decision is made. We will leave our homes and make new ones far away to the south where the animals live." With the Grandfather's words, Throw Stone and his family begin to prepare for one of the most amazing journeys ever taken—a journey made 25,000 years ago. Because of the increasingly bitter cold of the Ice Age, the animals who were the food of these Arctic dwellers were moving south, and the people faced the choice of either following them into the wild uncharted land we now call America or—starving! They take up the challenge of the journey, and the "Land Where the Sun Lives" is finally reached, but not until many days and many adventures are behind them. The facts on which the story is based have been drawn from archaeology, geology, and other fields which have been for the authors areas of careful scientific research. But the story which Dr. Sayles and Mrs. Stevens have written is an exciting and compelling adventure, undertaken by warm, living people who arouse every sympathy and concern. Barton Wright, the gifted illustrator, brings the episodes vividly to life in his many pictures, which include detailed drawings of this remote and fascinating era in our human history. E. B. SAYLES is a noted anthropologist. At present, he is Curator of the Arizona State Museum, and a Fellow of both the Society for American Archaeology and the American Anthropological Society. Although he has authored numerous archaeological books and papers for adults, this is Dr. Sayles first book for young people. MARY ELLEN STEVENS is also from the Southwest. Although this is also her first book for children, she is a gifted narrator with a superb sense of story and an ability to charm and hold a young audience. She lives in Houston with her son Jeff, who is now a sophomore in college. BARTON A. WRIGHT is Curator of the Museum of Northern Arizona and a well-known illustrator. An active man who knows and loves the outdoors he has been at various times in the past, a river pilot, a stevedore, a ferry operator, and a fishing guide, and has shown in his own life the same enjoyment of adventure which animates his delightful drawings.
