![]() The story concentrates on a poor tribe who call themselves OUR PEOPLE. THE MANY COUPS OF LAME BEAVER-We get to hear about the American Indians who lived in Colorado. Bison got started in Europe and a larger version came to America and dies out and then the bison we know so well migrated here. Here we learn that horses and camels got started in North America and left for Europe. THE INHABITANTS-This is the animal chapter where he talks about dinosaurs, bison, beavers, horses and rattlesnakes. In it, he explains the structure of the earth itself, talking about the mantle, core, crust, plate tectonics, mountain building, etc. If you have read some of JM's other books, you know he usually has this chapter. THE LAND-This is Michener's geology chapter. It is one of the weaker parts of the book, but does show what magazines used to go through and how much they spent to publish a truthful article. THE COMMISSION-This would be a short story. Some characters or their children occur throughout the book, but they are usually only the main character once. Each chapter is as long as a book, is on a different subject or aspect and has new main characters. ![]() You can look at this as a long 51 hour book or as 14 books. I had listened to this before I joined audible, some six years ago and wanted to listen to it again and let people know what a great book it is. I love James Michener, I love Larry McKeever and I love this book. ![]() ![]() I only mention that, since when I saw this milestone coming up, I decided I wanted something I loved. Review 1,000!! This is my one thousandth review. ![]()
