An exceptional literary painting.

From its first page, you magically enter the world of the Anasazi at their zenith in Chaco Canyon, and journey through their outlining communities. Norman Messenger, an Iowa farmer transplanted to the Southwest, told me that this book came to him in a dream from the Old Ones, and I've no doubt: having read to fictive inventions, he pierces all, describing the intricacies of their culture and its "why's", not through our 21st Century perception, but through that of those people in their time. The reader comes to understand how, in their world and within their culture, the Anasazi could simply vanish. This is, by far, the most exceptional literary painting, and is a lesson to us all.

Enter The World of the Anasazi

From its first page, you magically enter the world of the Anasazi at their zenith in Chaco Canyon, and journey through their outlining communities. Norman Messenger, an Iowa farmer transplanted to the Southwest, told me that this book came to him in a dream from the Old Ones, and I've no doubt: having read volumes about the Anasazi, from archeological studies to anthropological postulations to fictive inventions, he pierces all, describing the intricacies of their culture and its "why's", not through our 21st Century perception, but through that of those people in their time. The reader comes to understand how, in their world and within their culture, the Anasazi could simply vanish. This is, by far, the most plausible description of these beautiful Peoples ever written, contained in an exceptional literary painting, and is a lesson to us all.
