Aztalan
has remained a mystery since the early 19th century when it was
discovered by settlers who came to the Crawfish River, 50 miles west of
Milwaukee. Who were the early indigenous people who inhabited this
place? When did they live here? Why did they disappear? Robert
Birmingham and Lynne Goldstein attempt to unlock some of the mysteries,
providing insights and information about the group of people who first
settled here in 1100 A.D. Filled with maps, drawings, and photographs of
artifacts, this volume examines a time before modern Native American
people settled in this area.
