Following the route of the first American Indians after their land-bridge crossing from Asia, novelist I. Allan Sealy travelled south from Alaska by any transport that came to hand, zigzagging along the blacktop roads of Montana and Utah, then across the Mexican border down the Baja peninsula to Oaxaca and Yucatan. This account of his travels traces the movement of the original people of North America, recording the impressions of the other kind of Indian - the kind that Columbus expected to find when he set sail in 1492.
