Written In Stone - Tales of the American Indian - Paperback

Have you ever stumbled upon a Native American stone arrowhead, axe, spear, or other ancient artifact while out for a walk or working in your garden? Have you ever wondered about the people who lived here for thousands of years before us and left these curious relics? Who were these people? What were their lives like? How did they survive? How did they lose their things?

Paul Schanen wondered too, and the more he wondered, the more these ancient peoples took shape in his mind and on these pages. In Written in Stone - Tales of the American Indian, Paul relates the many strange and exciting tales of how Native American artifacts were lost in the first place. Here, Paul brings exciting stories to life, stories of romance, of war, heartbreak, great hunts, and the all-too-frequent threat of starvation. Here he tells the tales of the American Indian from the most ancient of times when mammoths still roamed the land, to more recent times when the Europeans started to intrude into their world.

With a depth of insight that only a long-time researcher could possess, Paul tells the very human stories of the people that once lived in the same places that we do now, fished the same lakes, hunted in the same woods, and walked the samepaths. Paul tells these stories with an almost telepathic clarity of how things once were before Europeans came to the land. Through Paul, you will come to know these ancient people on a personal level you never anticipated.
