If you are going to join us at Cahokia for a tour of the archaeology, a lecture about the writing of PEOPLE OF THE MORNING STAR, and the following book signing, be aware that we will lead a short walk down to Mound 72, leaving the Cahokia Mounds State Park Museum at 1:00 with the lecture starting in the Theater at 2:00.
We will have to take a small break at 1:30 for a television interview.
Hope to see everyone from the St. Louis area at Chokia Mounds on Saturday the 31st. Access to the site is at exit 6 off the I-55/70 freeway just east of downtown.
