Ian M Thompson spent most of his life in Colorado's Four Corners area, delving into the region's land, history, and culture. In a synthesis of Crow Canyon's field research, Thompson gathered archaeologists' and modern Puebloans' perspectives and added his own reflections on landscape, community and change.
This book represents the completion of a manuscript left unfinished at the time of Thompson's death. Family and colleagues rounded out Thompson's book with selections from his other writings, and Jonathan Thompson contributed a personal appreciation of his late father. People of the Mesa Verde Country both memorializes and celebrates Thompson's vision and observations -- offering an unparalleled perspective on life on the Great Sage Plain, past, present, and future.
