Summary: "The Mesa Verde Story" by Anonymous is a historical account likely written in the mid-20th century. The book delves into the rich history and development of the early inhabitants of the Mesa Verde region in southwest Colorado, focusing on their evolution from nomadic hunters to settled agricultural communities.

The narrative unfolds through a series of dioramas, each illustrating different periods of life in Mesa Verde, from the arrival of the earliest humans over 15,000 years ago to the height of the Great Pueblo Period around 1100 to 1300 A.D. The book elaborates on the various phases, including the Basketmaker period, the Modified Basketmaker period, and the Developmental Pueblo period, highlighting the introduction of agriculture, pottery, and advanced living structures such as pithouses and masonry pueblos. It culminates with the lifestyle of the cliff dwellers and discusses the environmental challenges they faced, ultimately leading to their migration in the late 13th century, marking the end of a significant cultural era in North America.
