Excerpt from Ancient Ruins of the Southwest The remains of ancient populations spread over the Southwest have been a subject of great interest to travelers and settlers for generations past. They have attracted the attention of students and literary men and much has been written, scientific and speculative, concerning these ancient peoples. Within recent years close investigation has shed new light upon these ancient places. The states and their citizens have commenced the protection of ancient ruins, the Government of the United States has interested itself and its scholars, so that now the truth about the ancient inhabitants of the Southwest is gradually becoming known. It has not in the least detracted from the interest in them to discover the truth - to remove the veil of mystery that has hung over them and make known the actual facts. On the contrary, they have grown in interest to thinking people as their true character has become known. Most conspicuous of the ancient cities of the Southwest are those of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona.
