Imagine how surprised I was to open up this book and read in the first paragraph that the author had left his family's home in Montana!

A fairly fantastical account of Childress' travels through South America, and the lore that surrounds the ruins and cultures in the area. Light on actual fact, but really entertaining. It made me super excited to explore Peru!!
Disclaimer: this book is full of ridiculous speculation; nevertheless a great sourcebook of pop mythology, conspiracy, and archeaological anomalies.
