Ruth Kirk (1925–2018)

I had not realized until reading this book how notable the Ozette diggings were in archaeological circles. This is a nice, moderate length book on the unearthing of prehistoric Makah houses in an old village at Ozette. An excellent book for lay archaeologists. I now plan to visit the museum in Neah Bay where the artifacts are displayed.

Well now I need to hike back out to Cape Alava. Picked up at Makah Museum in Neah Bay on trip with mom for our birthdays. A great story - and imagine trying to harpoon a whale via canoe!

This is on a topic I'm very interested in, but the approach was often not interesting at all, especially considering it was supposed to be written for children. There is too much time spent on when and where the professor is teaching/working rather than on the archaeological dig itself. When the story finally focuses on the dig and its finds, it is fine. 2.5 stars.

Yellowstone, the first national park by Ruth Kirk
Have visited a lot of national parks and hope to get to this one someday. If not I can be there by listening all about it.
Loved all the information about not only the geysers but animals, fauna and how it came to be the first national park in US.
So much to look forward to no matter what season you travel there.
+I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
