People of the Mesa Verde Country

Archaeologist, journalist, public servant, and visionary Ian M. "Sandy" Thompson's life was, in a way, an extended meditation on the land, history, and culture of the Southwest's Four Corners region. In this, his last book, he combines the perspectives of archaeologists and modern Puebloans with his own poetic observations on landscape, community, and change -- poignantly revealing deep connections between ancient and contemporary life on the Great Sage Plain.
