Here is what people are saying about the IN SEARCH OF THE OLD ONES
5 Star Rating  "Round Three"2009-11-16
- Reviewed By Johnny Denver from Denver, CO United States
I just finished reading this book for the third time and I'm continually fascinated with the descriptions by David Roberts. I live in Denver, CO and find myself longing to head into canyon country each time I read this book. If you've never seen one of these dwellings, plan a trip. The silence of the desert and the beauty of their isolated location transport you to a different time. Highly highly recommended for any adventurous Westerner!
 
5 Star Rating  "Looking for a independent view, the Old Ones"2009-09-17
- Reviewed By Randy Hees from San Mateo, CA USA
In the Southwest, the Anasazi, alternately the Ancestral Pueboans, the Old Ones or the Hopi Histatsinom are a politically charged subject, that, along with academic feuds over territory mean that there is less discussion of this culture which left magnificent ruins across the southwest.

David Roberts book is that honest discussion, sensitive to the Hopi and other modern Pueboans, sensitive to the Navajo (possibly an ancient enemy of the Anasai), critical of academics, fighting criticism of early cowboy archeologists, the Wetherills (frequently disparaged as pothunters).

He also is critical of the National Park Service and their interpretive efforts at Mesa Verde and other sites...

I note that they don't sell this book at the National Park bookstores... They should...

I found the book compelling... I will now read his other books...
 
4 Star Rating  "Southwestern pre-history"2009-04-15
- Reviewed By Red Bear from Colorado/New Mexico
Good narrative, but, sadly, a bit of out-dated information. Good basics, however, and easy to read.
 
5 Star Rating  "An appetite whetter"2009-04-02
- Reviewed By Socratic Gadfly from Lancaster, Texas United States
No, this isn't meant to be a scholarly overview of the latest in Anasazi archaeological analysis. Instead, it's meant to be what it is:

One man's love of hiking, the Desert Southwest, and its primeval inhabitants, told in a hiker's version of a travelogue.

And Roberts does it quite well. The style isn't just of an "outdoors magazine," but reflects Roberts' assignments for National Geographic, too. You can feel Roberts' adrenaline course as he discovers a new ruin-laden alcove, let alone stumbles upon a pot or basket not seen for hundreds of years.

As for people complaining they can't figure out where Roberts went, that's the point. To riff on what Euclid said to a Ptolemaic pharoah: "There is no royal road to Anasazi hiking."

Roberts, through his journalistic background, developed the right connections to get his intimate and detailed knowledge, and it didn't happen overnight.

You and I may never see many of these places, but that's not the point.

The point is that, if you followed Roberts, and Roberts' love for his subject you'll get off the paved road, or a few paved trails, yourself, and see what you can see beyond Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon. You can hit the BLM Utah website, surf around a bit, and find some relatively easy-to-reach sites that have no marked highway turnoffs.
 
5 Star Rating  "Beyond Mesa Verde"2008-11-17
- Reviewed By Red Dirt Dawg from Grand Junction, CO USA
Living near Grand Gulch/Cedar Mesa, this is the first book I recommend to visitors that ask if there are any books about this area. It sparks the imagination of anyone who has visited the ruins. After reading this book, my wife & I decided to move to the Four Corners from Chicago and go on our own "In Search of the Old Ones" You can see some of the ruins described in the book on my blog.

4 Star Rating  "In Search of the Old Ones"2008-10-01
- Reviewed By robertburns30
If you are at all interested in the ancient Anasazi culture of the southwest, this book should be on your reading list. Excellent stories of hiking on Cedar Mesa in southern Utah. David Roberts has written some good tales of adventure in the canyons. Another very good read is his book "Sandstone Spine".
