Most people do not know that for 5000 years, until as recently as the 18th century, the Ohio and Mississippi valleys were home to well organized, highly advanced civilizations. American Indians built huge geometrical structures to precisely related dimensions across distances of hundreds of miles. They lived in cities such as Balbansha, near present-day New Orleans, that were filled with carefully planned buildings, plazas, and streets. And they walked on highways like the Great Hope Road, a causeway for religious pilgrims that was begun in the 13th century.

This superbly tight and bright first edition is inscribed and signed large and bold in black fineline on half-title page "for Bob and Ibby / from / RKennedy." Often described as a polymath, Kennedy (1926-2011) was a strange mixture of historian, television producer and museum administrator, directing the National Museum of American History and then the National Park Service.
