No feeble will is that of the Indian tribes of the American Southwest. They have occupied the splendor of the universe of things - the upland portion of the American Southwest - for more thousands of years than anyone knows.  They have lived the dangerous life.  John Collier notes, “have breathed tides of change, in prehistory, and not only since the white man came, they have incorporated change following upon change; and their continuity has not been broken, the inward and outward direction … altered.” Once Collier thought with fatalism, that these peoples would not go on in their own ways.  But they have demonstrated that they can. Now, as colonial peoples everywhere, and as the Indians of the Americas renew their hopes, the American Southwest is a magnetic center which draws the attention of many lands in all continents. Without doubt, John Collier is the best man in the world to attempt such a book as this, as once descriptive, lyrical, philosophical, and prophetic.  It is a book about a place and some peoples, but also about the human spirit. The account is vividly illustrated by photos.
