We owe special debts of gratitude to our professional archaeological colleagues for the difficult and fascinating work they have done on Fremont culture in the American Southwest, but we would especially like to thank former Utah state archaeologist Dr. Kevin Jones, Corinne H. Springer of the Natural History Museum of Utah, Dr. A. Dudley Gardner, and Brian O’Neil. Brian has been sending us information on the Fremont, in preparation for this book, for many years. Sorry it took so long, Brian.
And thanks, also, to one of America’s great bookstores—Back of Beyond Books in Moab, Utah. Andy has been waiting for this book longer than anyone else. Thanks for your patience.
