If you're planning to travel through the American Southwest, Ancient Ancestors will guide you through 33 National Park sites. This book is unique in offering what Indian elders say about these places based on oral history tradition. Author Dr. Gregory Schaaf has served as tribal historian for over 15 years. Supported by scientific data, Ancient Ancestors offers an educational, yet fun way, to learn about Indian country in the American Southwest. Be dazzled by the color illustrations of award winning photographer Lewis Kemper. A great book for a great price.

Since I met the photographer last month on a volcano shoot in Hawaii, I had to buy his book as we both share an appreciation for the SouthWest. Well written and photographed in a combination of Scholarly work and ART. The book arrived after about 4 weeks (not in a hurry and I was prepared for SLOW shipping) in great condition 9.5 out of 10 or even new. Well packaged. Unbeatable price for the book. Shipping fair enough if slow.
I'd advise any shippers to use at LEAST First Class U.S. postage to Hawaii and Alaska, otherwise it comes by BARGE and takes 4-6 weeks for cheap shipping, like media mail or parcel post, Believe me, I know.
