Chaco Canyon has a subtle, patient beauty, a spiritual quietness that welcomes those willing to adapt.  It is a special place where the earth and sky touch, where the natural order of the heavens is honored on the earth below.  Between 800 A.D. and 1130 A.D., the people of Chaco Canyon constructed Great Houses, built grand roadways, and erected solar and lunar markers that are still accurate today.  Now only their ancestors remain amidst the ruins as guardians of the magnificent structures they left behind.

Stephen Allten Brown has reanimated the miraculous world heritage site of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico so that others may experience its wonder and mystery.  In “Shadows of Chaco Canyon,” a historical novel, we come to know these ancient Puebloan people: their fears, their culture, and their hope for the future.
