Lost Cities in Parks

Lost Cities in Parks reveals the hidden histories within America's national parks, exploring pre-Columbian settlements and early European impacts. These parks aren't just natural wonders; they're also significant historical sites holding clues to past civilizations. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the diverse narratives often overlooked in traditional American history. For example, archaeological evidence reveals that ancient peoples adapted and thrived in environments we now consider pristine wilderness.

The book progresses by first introducing national parks as cultural heritage repositories. It then examines specific sites like Mesa Verde and Cahokia Mounds, highlighting their history and cultural significance. Preservation challenges, from natural erosion to development pressures, are also explored, alongside ethical considerations in managing these resources.

The overarching goal is to promote public education and engagement to protect these invaluable cultural landscapes for future generations, ensuring these stories continue to be told.
