Indians of the Mesa Verde by Don Watson


ECHOS OF THE PAST

Under the arching roof of a tremendous cave stands a silent,
empty city.

For almost seven centuries it has stood there looking out
across the canyon toward the setting sun. Proudly, almost
haughtily, it has resisted the heavy tread of thse slow centuries.
Like a giant with a shawl of everlasting stone pulled
closely about its shoulders it has stood with unbowed head,
an etenal monument to the intelligence and industry of its
builders...........
