A must-read before visiting the Four Corners area
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I am very glad I read this book before visiting Mesa Verde because it helped me appreciate the cliff dwellings and the way of life they represent on a visceral (as opposed to intellectual) level. I was able to "read between the lines" of architecture and imagine the people who lived there through McCarthy's eyes. His research seems to be in line with what the rangers and anthropologists shared. The storytelling was delightful, lean and haunting. A wonderful, fast read!
