Abstract
- Chapter 1 of the book "Mesa Verde National Park: The First 100 Years" is presented. The chapter features early discoveries from visitations made by various Anglo visitors such as Francisco Atanasio Dominguez, Silvestre Velez de Escalante, William Becknell and Dr. John S. Newberry. The mysteries of these cliff dwellings fascinated them and documented their explorations in the area. One report encouraged others to visit the site and see the architectural skills of the semi-barbarians in the ancient days.
