Witch Tales from the Watermasters (Literature & Fiction)

Description:
The Hohokam Indians of the Valley of the Sun (now Phoenix) built an irrigation empire in the desert, with hundreds of miles of canals, multistory buildings, and ceremonial mounds the size of our football fields. They smelted metals, developed advanced etching and dyeing processes, and wove cotton into cloth. They traded with peoples hundreds of miles away and even traveled to the ocean far to the west to collect exotic shells, coral, and salt.
For a thousand years they turned the sweltering Land of Two Rivers into a green oasis. Then they vanished. What happened to these technologically advanced people, so at-home in their cruel environment?
Some say they ruined their fields and sank into obscurity along the rivers; others think an environmental cataclysm struck and they died off or left; while still others believe they were invaded and conquered. And indeed, archaeological evidence survives to support each of these theories.
But there is another source from which to learn about this magnificent culture and try to understand the mystery of its collapse.
The Pima Indians who lived in the valley when the first Euro-American explorers and settlers arrived tell stories, known as "witch tales," about the people some called Hohokam (the name means "all used up," or Those Who Are Gone) and others called the Vipiset ("great-grandfathers," the Ancestors).
This is one of those witch tales.

| The plot, a “save the world” quest, is slow to develop but compelling once the stakes are established, as the unlikely companions face a series of obstacles and must constantly readjust their plans. . . . (see more) | |

| The concept for this story caught my attention at first glance: historical fiction focused on the life of a man with some resemblance to Santa Claus, larger than life and beloved by children. His adopted daughter (or possibly second wife—this point i...more | |

| This uplifting story of a man’s trip through guilt-ridden despair is not at all the sort of thing I usually read, but I’m glad I did. Though it’s not overtly religious, I would call it inspirational, an appropriate reminder of the deeper meaning that...more | |

| I was expecting science fiction: alien objects at the bottom of the sea, a 1940s crash of an alien vessel. Instead, this turned out to be a standard espionage-based plot with some science thrown in . . . (see more) | |
