People of Chaco: A Canyon and Its Culture PETR a playful and curious creaturePraised as a "beautiful piece of work" that is "written in the best tradition of the science writer" (Washington Times), People of Chaco is the essential book on the spectacular array of ruins at Chaco Canyon. Like Stonehenge, the ruins are both a monument to our prehistory and a cryptic puzzle. We know that in Chaco Canyon, one thousand years ago, there arose among the Pueblo people a great and culturally sophisticated civilization. Kendrick Frasier
