The Land of the Cliff Dwellers (1892)

The Land of the Cliff Dwellers is a historical and anthropological account of the ancient Pueblo people who lived in the southwestern United States, particularly in the region now known as the Four Corners. Written by Frederick Hastings Chapin and first published in 1892, the book describes Chapin's travels through the region and his encounters with the Pueblo people, as well as his observations of their traditional way of life and their impressive architectural achievements, such as the cliff dwellings and other structures carved into the rock faces of the canyons. The book also explores the history and culture of the Pueblo people, including their religious beliefs, social customs, and artistic traditions. Chapin's writing is vivid and engaging, and his account provides a valuable historical and cultural perspective on this fascinating region and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
