In memory of George H. Davis
August 21, 1921 to October 21, 1992.
He loved elk, horses, high country,
and, above all,
family and friends.

George, we hope they have a crackling-warm fire,
a jar of jalapenos, a plate of backstrap,
and a strong cup of coffee
ready when you get there.

We miss you.
... And this one's for you and Shirley.

Acknowledgments

People of the Lakes would not have been possible without the
help of a number of people. In the beginning, Michael Seidman--then
executive editor at Tor Books--believed we should
produce a series of novels about our nation's magnificent pre-
contact heritage. He thought the books should educate as well
as entertain.

Robert C. Mainfort, Jr., regional archaeologist with the Tennessee
Division of Archaeology, provided excavation reports,
interpretation, and answered questions about Middle Woodland
occupations at Pinson Mounds and in western Tennessee. Mark
Norton, Theda Young, and Anita Drury, staff members at the
Pinson Mounds State Park in western Tennessee, were also very
helpful.

Charles Niquette, of Cultural Resource Analysts, Inc., provided
his expertise and archaeological reports relating to Middle
Woodland period settlement patterns. Thanks, Chuck. We'll
send you a dead armadillo one of these days.

Dennis LaBatt, Nancy Clendenen, and David Grilling--the
knowledgeable staff at the Poverty Point Archaeological site
outside of Floyd, Louisiana--demonstrated the wonders of the
huge Poverty Point site. From the Ohio Historical Society,
James Kingery, of the Flint Ridge State Park, proved most helpful,
as did Brad Lepper, of Newark Earthworks State Memorial.
Brad's work on Ohio Hopewell road systems is remarkable.

We are also indebted to our colleagues within the archaeological
profession, specifically to the following: Naomi Greber,
R. Berle Clay Dan Morse, Christopher Hays, Frank Cowan,
