Manitou: The Sacred Landscape of New Englands Native Civilization
by James W. Mavor, Jr., Byron E. Dix
Category: Social Science

In the summer of 1974 Byron Dix discovered in Vermont the first of many areas in New England believed to be ancient Native American ritual sites. Dix and coauthor James Mavor tell the fascinating story of the discovery and exploration of these many stone structures and standing stones, whose placement in the surrounding landscape suggests that they played an important role in celestial observation and shamanic ritual.
