"Pueblo Bonito: Chaco Culture National Historic Park, New Mexico" is a non-fiction work that explores the mysteries of Pueblo Bonito, a once-bustling prehistoric Indian settlement constructed by the Anasazi people in the American Southwest. It recounts the meticulous research and excavation that revealed the grandeur of Pueblo Bonito, detailing its complex architecture, from its massive walls to its innovative ceiling designs, and its important role as a center for community life and religious practices in the Chaco Canyon between A.D. 1030 and 1079.
