Can it really be true?  The math doesn’t lie.  It’s hard to believe that 25 years ago PEOPLE OF THE WOLF was first released. Since then it has gone on to sell nearly two million copies in the English edition alone and has been published around the world in more than twenty different languages.  As of last year PEOPLE OF THE WOLF was in its 30th printing!  For a quarter of a century now, Wolf Dreamer, Raven Hunter, Dancing Fox, and One Who Cries have been delighting readers around the world.  

Our thanks, especially to our Associate Publisher, Linda Quinton, who carried a box to the American Booksellers Association trade show in Las Vegas back in 1990 where we first saw the book, and were able to hand out copies to special book buyers.  

Who would have thought?  It’s been a marvelous ride and we’re still writing “People” books.

Thanks to all of you who have bought copies over the years and kept the story of America’s archaeological heritage alive! 

Mapping ancient trails helps us all to understand how people moved historically and prehistorically.  It’s a story of migration, commerce, and exploration.

First Mes Aynak had to contend with Taliban fanatics, now China’s state-owned mining company will finish the job the Taliban started.  This is just so tragic.   https://medium.com/@BrentHuffman/good-and-bad-news-about-the-impending-destruction-of-mes-aynak-an-ancient-buddhist-city-in-a2b913d48c98

Keep in mind that killing symbols is the first step to killing memory, to killing history.

One wonders if ancient Egyptians did not specifically breed dogs for these sacrifices, kind of like we do turkeys for Thanksgiving.

Both Luxor and Karnak were bombed in the past week by militants seeking to destroy the archaeological sites to decrease tourist activity in Egypt.  What the world coming to?
