"I really enjoyed reading this book. Excellent descriptions. Very readable. A lot of discussion about areas that we just rode through on our horseback vacation. I am looking forward to returning to the area and doing more exploring with thenew knowledge I've gotten from this book. I find it amazing to learn how much civilization there was in North America that we learned NOTHING - or next ot nothing - about in school."
"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."
