Editorial Reviews

Review

Charles Blanchard's elegant prose and Merald Clark's irresistible drawings bring the ancient native peoples of southwest Florida to life and show how archaeology allows us to understand the past. The text is engaging and informative, and archaeological concepts are explained in laymen's terms. This is a book that can be enjoyed by both children and adults interested in learning more about archaeology or American Indians. It is also appropriate for teachers who want a simple, interesting book for classroom use. -- From the Publisher
