Desert People and Cultures
Links to Their Stories
During the past century, investigators have been solving one of the great mysteries of the North American continent: Who built the spectacular, prehistoric* cliff dwellings and other ancient structures scattered throughout the American Southwest? We also take a look at some of the people who helped make desert history, movies, music and the trails of the Southwest and its deserts.
Below is the index to these people, their cultures, collectibles, and the desert trails they used.
