Prehistoric Native Americans in the Ozarks
By Don R. Dickson 
(Your copy will be signed by Don)

Don Dickson is a highly respected archeologist living in the Ozarks.  He is responsible for excavating Calf Creek Cave, naming the Calf Creek and Searcy points. While Don is a professional, he has purposely written this book so that the layman can easily understand it as well as the professional archeologist.  His illustrations and research are of impeccable quality and detail.  I doubt anyone knows these hills and mountains better than Don.

Ancient America, The Northwest
Author
$19.99
Using stars to navigate the vast plains, the nomadic peoples of the West were among the most inventive of all Native Americans.  At one time these landscapes were home to both warrior nations and peaceful villages.

Climb to the top of the Bighorn Range to the ancient Medicine Wheel: a ceremonial site and observatory.

Trade was vital and because so many languages were spoken, sign language was inventr4ed.  Rare sea shells were used as wampum: Indian money.  Smoke signals warned of danger and spread news over the vast, treeless plains.

Journey back in time to the days before the coming of the first Europeans and the horse that brought with them.  Return, as the Blackfoot say, to the dog days of ANCIENT AMERICA.

Seagoing war canoes once plied the waters of the rugged North Pacific coast and totem poles towered over villages.  Discover the sophisticated art, ceremonies, and wealthy societies that once inhabited this intriguing part of ANCIENT AMERICA.

Ancient America, The Northwest
Author

From the time of Christ, the Anasazi Indians lived in the Four Corners country; that southwestern region of the United States where Colorado, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico come together ... and then they mysteriously vanished.  What they left behind are massive stone cities crouched low on mesa tops, nestled in natural caves and along sheer canyon walls.  These are some of the oldest, largest and most beautiful prehistoric ruins in North America.

This splendid National Park Service film captures the serene, awesome, legendary spirit of the Indian dwellings at Chaco Canyon, Betatakin, Mesa Verde, Canyon de Chelly, Aztec and other exciting sites in the San Juan system.   24 minutes video

The reasons for the decline of Cahokia are not clear, but come explore its legacy with this fascinating look into the past.  1 hour video

Author
$19.99
Features: Montezuma Castle, Montezuma Well, Wupatki, Tuzigoot, Sunset Crater, and Walnut Canyon.  Home of the Prehistoric Sinagua.  This enlightening video program explores the ancient cultural history and remarkable landscapes of these five National Monuments in northern Arizona.

These sites contain the cultural remains of a fascinating prehistoric Indian people known as the Sinagua who first settled near what is now Flagstaff nearly 1,500 years ago.  Learn about the settlements they built, how their culture flourished, and their eventual disappearance for reasons that are still not understood. 

The Sinagua left behind a legacy; thousands of ruins still dot the area.  Discover the sophisticated structures and artifacts that reveal much about how they survived.  You can almost see their culture evolve, from the farmlands of Sunset Crater, to the sprawling settlements of Wupatki and the spectacular cliff dwellings at Montezuma Castle.

Today, you can look out on the landscapes that attracted the Sinagua centuries earlier.  See Sunset Crater and its 1000 foot high cinder cone; Walnut Canyon with its natural beauty and shelter, Montezuma Well's circular sinkhole with dwellings clinging to the rock ledges, and Tuzigoot, looming over the landscape atop a limestone ridge in the fertile Verde Valley.  40 minute video
