Manitou: The Sacred Landscape of New England's Native Civilization

by James W. Mavor Jr., Byron E. Dix

In the summer of 1974 Byron Dix discovered in Vermont the first of many areas in New England believed to be ancient Native American ritual sites. Dix and coauthor James Mavor tell the fascinating story of the discovery and exploration of these many stone structures and standing stones, whose placement in the surrounding landscape suggests that they played an important role in celestial observation and shamanic ritual.

Mostly baseless speculation with very little knowledge of actual Native beliefs, Native cultures or even the well know borders of New England.
