"that feverish craving for the distant and the unknown ... the lust for danger and adventure in exploration and discovery"
[Clyde Kluckhohn, quoted in the book]. A mixture of history, modern day exploration and well-reasoned conclusions about these tantalizing ghosts, the Anasazi. Visit and explore ancient sites with an explorer-archaeologist whose fascination with Ancient Ones never wanes. Discover a 700-year-old pot and leave it where it lies. Get the "feel" of the Anasazi as you wander their canyons and discover ancient cliff-face dwellings. Includes great stories of the Weatherills, modern-day "discoverers" of Mesa Verde. 272 pages.
