Ut APPEARS strange that the
greatest of American prehistoric
ruins, those now inclosed in the
N Mesa Verde National park in
southwestern Colorado, should have
escaped discovery until 1888. Years
before, innumerable ancient ruins left
in several other states by the ances-
described and pictured. They had
been the subjects of popular lectures;
they had been treated in books of
science and books of travel; they had
become a familiar American specta-
Gle. Even the ruins in the Mancos
early as 1874. w. H. Jackson, who
led the government party, found there
many small dwellings broken down by
the weather. The next year he was
followed by Prof. w. H. Holmes, later
chief of the bureau of American eth
markable stone towers so character
istic of the region.
But these discoveries attracted little
attention because of their inferiority
to the better-known ruins of Arizona
and New Mexico. Had either of the
explorers followed up the side canyon
of the Mancos they would have then
discovered ruins which are, in the
words of Baron Gustav Nordenskiold,
the talented Swedish explorer, so
magnificent that they surpass any
thing of the kind known in the United
States"
This explains why delivers in Ii
braries find so little about the Mesa
Verde. Most books and magazine
articles were written when cliff dwell
ings were novelty.
Monument of Bygone Ages.
Baron Nordenskiold thus describes
in his book, 1.-The Cliff Dwellers of the
Mesa Verde" the discovery of the
wonderful dwellings in this side can
yon of the Mancos:
''The honor of the discovery of
these remarkable ruins belongs to
Richard and Alfred Wetherill of Man
cos. The family owns large herds of
cattle, which wander about on the
Mesa Verde. The care of these herds
often calls for long rides on the mesa

Until the last few decades the farm

material for their clothing. These
farms produced comparatively little
