The grandest gorge in the world --
A forest of agate --
The American Sahara --
The rattlesnake dance --
Where they beg the bear's pardon --
The witches' corner --
The magicians --
The self-crucifiers --
Homes that were forts --
Montezuma's well --
Montezuma's castle --
The greatest natural bridge on earth --
The stone autograph-album --
The rivers of stone --
The Navajo basket --
The blind hunters --
Finishing an Indian boy --
The praying smoke --
The dance of the sacred bark --
Doctoring the years --
An odd people at home --
A saint in court.

Lummis's prose portraits of the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Montezuma Castle, and other sites reflect the author's knowledge of Southwest anthropology and history.
