| Summary | "Indians of the Mesa Verde" by Don Watson is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The book explores the lives and culture of the Pueblo people who inhabited the Mesa Verde region in what is now Colorado, focusing on their architectural achievements, social structure, and daily life prior to their eventual abandonment of the area. It delves deeply into the historical context and significance of the archaeological findings in the region. The opening of the book introduces Cliff Palace, a remarkable cliff dwelling that stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of its builders. It describes the allure of this ancient city and sets the emotional tone by reflecting on the past, emphasizing the hopes, prayers, and lives of the people who once thrived there. The narrative transitions into a broader discussion on the arrival of various explorers and settlers, who gradually unlocked the mysteries of the ruins. The author hints at the tragic circumstances surrounding the abandonment of these homes, painting a picture that invites readers to consider the rich history and lasting legacy of the ancient inhabitants of Mesa Verde.
