Mesa Verde cliff dwellers endure and drought ends their paradise
A vivid travelogue recounts the Mesa Verde region, detailing Cliff Palace and Square Tower ruins, the cliff dwellings carved into canyons, and the ancient drought that collapsed the people’s civilization between 1276 and 1298. The writer and five newsboys describe descending canyon stairs, climbing ladders, and photographing the ruins before concluding the Mesa Verde chapter and journeying home via Gallup and Amarillo.
