Back in Print! In 1891, Swedish scientist Gustaf Nordenskiold studied, explored, and photographed many of Mesa Verdes cliff dwellings. Considered by many to be the first true archeologist at Mesa Verde, his book, "The Cliff Dwellers of Mesa Verde ," was the first extensive record of its cliff dwellings.

In 2006 Mesa Verde celebrated its first century as a national park. Here, Colorado played a large role in the birth of modern archaeology. But Mesa Verde is not just about archeology and ancient Native American lifeways. These books celebrate the park as a whole: from its surprising discovery and establishment to the inspiration it has sparked in writers and artists. Beautifully illustrated with historic and full-color photos and filled with modern essays and fascinating historic extracts.
