I hope to provide an extensive review later.  I met Dr. Pauketat, who is retiring this year, at an IFR field school this summer.  I am deeply impressed with his work and this book represents the culmination of a lifetime devoted to the study of this history.  I think the “travelogue“ aspects of the book are a fun, lighter point of entry.  They make me want to start a road trip today.  The book is worth reading for anyone interested in the history and religion of Cahokia.
