An award-winning author and veteran mountain climber takes us deep into the Southwest backcountry to uncover secrets of its ancient inhabitants.

In this thrilling story of intellectual and archaeological discovery, David Roberts recounts his last 20 years of far-flung exploits in search of spectacular prehistoric ruins and rock art panels known to very few modern travelers. His adventures range across Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado, and illuminate the mysteries of the Ancestral Puebloans and their contemporary neighbors the Mogollon and Fremont, as well as of the more recent Navajo and Comanche.

What an adventure! David Roberts only increases my desire to try and understand. As long as the ancients are in our minds, they will never be ‘The Lost Ones.’

Can we ever know?

Good for what it was, an adventure story about doing anthropology whereas I'd been hoping for more analysis of the cultures investigated.
