Tracing Time: Seasons of Rock Art on the Colorado Plateau

 

Craig Childs is probably the best guide to the American West we have living today, and his Tracing Time: Seasons of Rock Art on the Colorado Plateau certainly bears this out.  This work was written during the height of the pandemic, and you can sense some fear and sorrow around the edges of his story.  This makes this book seem a bit more detached than some of the author’s other works.  So while this may not be his best book, it is certainly a dedicated introduction to Rock Art in the American West.
