Following the route of the first Native Americans after their land-bridge crossing from Asia, Indian novelist I. Allan Sealy travelled south from Alaska by any transport that came to hand, zigzagging along the blacktop roads of Montana and Utah, then across the Mexican border, down the Baja peninsula to Oaxaca and Yucatan. This book traces the movement of the original peopling of North America, recording the impressions of the other kind of Indian - the kind that Columbus expected to find when he set sail in 1492.
