Children of the Circle: A Novel of Native America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781466397262)

The author is a former archaeologist with many years experience in all areas of Native American research. For seventeen years he was also the owner of Rattler Crafts, an award winning art business focused on recreating prehistoric native American life ways, presenting his original recreations from top craft venues to museums and private collections in many countries. More recently, while working on the six part People of the Stone saga, detailing the settling of North America from the end of the Ice Age to the coming of the first Europeans, Mr. Kuhn has taught both archaeology and geography at Midlands Technical College in Columbia, SC, where he still resides. Children of the Circle is a historical novel centered on the arrival of Hernando de Soto in the southeastern United State region in 1539 and the dramatic impacts this appearance had on bringing to a conclusion over 12,000 years of the unique cultural development that had existed there and other areas of native North America. This amazing sequence of human events has been detailed in the five previous novels of this important book series.
