Summary
"The very first men we know in the Pittsylvania country roamed these hills and valleys a staggeringly long time ago. Egypt's earliest civilization had not yet begun to develop the art of making pottery, and on the northern shores of the Mediterranean the earliest farmers would not begin to plant crops for centuries, perhaps millennia. Those who are interested in this period, and others, will find a world of good reading in Foundations of Pennsylvania Prehistory which contains over six hundred pages of what has been written by experts in the field for thepast forty years." [from a review of this book by George Swetnam in 1972]
