Cahokia: Ancient America's Great City on the Mississippi Audiobook

" Interesting history of a people/civilization of which I was previously unaware. But the book fails to present a clear picture to me of these people and seems to be full of maybees and possibilities, rather than specific answers. Perhaps this is because there is little definitive knowledge. This book had some interest, but I'd only recommend it to someone who was very interested in this subject, not the casual reader. "

" This book certainly gets the interest level up for a guy who has mostly been interested in the prehistoric American Southwest. "

" Nice history or North American indians that most of use don't know. Book is somewhat repetitive though. "

" This fine book by an anthropologist provides an important counter-balance to the traditional story of European encounters with Native peoples in the Americas. "

" Pretty good read on the mound civilization just east of St. Louis. I was surprised at how much human sacrifice played a role in that culture. When you visit Cahokia that fact is almost entirely ommited from the narratives. "

" Mind-blowing, especially to a Greek person, who's definatelly unaware of Native Americans not living in teepees. "

" Fascinating subject, poorly executed. I had to plow through pages of backstories about archaeological digs and examples from other societies before I got to read about specific features of Cahokia and its inhabitants. I didn't finish. "

" Fascinating book about the discovery and archeology of the Cahokia sites. I didn't know much about this preColumbian site and found it quite interesting. "

" Excellent review of ancient Illinois "

" Unreadable. I gave up. Sad because the topic really appeals "

" Excellent single-volume survey of the history of our still-imperfect understanding of Mississippian Culture. "
