Stories in Stone

Rock Art Pictures By Early Americans
Written by Caroline Arnold
Illustrated by Richard R. Hewett

Book cover for Stories in Stone

Nearly everywhere people have been, they've left behind pictures on rock. The pictures tell stories from long-ago—so long ago, most of the stories have been forgotten. You can see some of these pictures in this month's Ranger Rick. This book goes more in-depth on one set of pictures, found on the canyon walls of the Coso Range in California Mojave Desert . This is the largest group of rock art in the Western Hemisphere , and a good way to find out about rock art in general. Well written text and clear photos tell a good story.
