"This amazing book takes the reader along on the author's journey, over a period of years, of Anasazi exploration and discovery, but if I had expected any mysteries to be solved, that did not happen--as the author states in his concluding pages, "at last we have begun to know just how much we do not know." David Roberts' descriptions of the ruggedly beautiful Southwest landscape and of the Anasazi secrets it has revealed to him are riveting, and he also introduces the reader to memorial characters (dead and alive) who have shared his fascination with the culture of the Old Ones. I especially admire the concept of Fred Blackburn's outdoor museum. And finally, it was a delightful surprise to read in one of the latter chapters that another of my favorite authors, Jon Krakauer, is a close friend of David Roberts and had shared his exploration of Mystery Canyon."
"I loved this book. David Roberts (friend of Jon Krakauer's) delves far into archaeology and his own personal Anasazi explorations. Very interesting and entertaining. He's a seasoned writer and a legit Anasazi enthusiast."
"My first real exposure to the questions about the Anasazi. Pet peeve: when some idiot journalist will say "What happened to them? They suddenly disappeared!" Idiot. They're still there, just not living in the stone age anymore."
"I am amazed at David's extensive travels afoot the myriad ways of the Colorado Plateau. It will break your heart and fire your imagination what we have learned in the last 10-15 years about the mysterious vanished culture whose tantilizing remnants one must use guile & cretivity to unlock & appreciate.
Anyone who loves to hike & camp the great outdoors will love this one. Disturbing evidence of cannibalism due to tighening arid conditions & over population in an unforgiving environment give pause & deep reflection to our own times right now.
