Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado
America's first apartment houses -
today they belong to you . . .
At Mesa Verde National Park you'll find the finest prehistoric
Indian cliff dwellings in the country -relics of
a highly-developed civilization that flourished during
the first 1300 years of the Christian era. You can see
how this ancient people lived . . . worshiped . . . farmed
and hunted. You can climb through their amazing
pueblos - Stone Age apartment houses such as Cliff
Palace which housed over 400 Indians on 8 different
floor levels before Columbus sailed for the New World.
Today we know the story of the Mesa Verde and its
people, thanks to the work of one of America's great
scientific institutions, the National Geographic Society.
The Douglas Tree Ring Calendar, developed under the
Society's sponsorship, traced the settlement’s growth
and revealed the 24-year drouth that helped to turn
the great pueblos into deserted villages.
But these great villages are no longer deserted. Each
year some 160,000 Americans travel there to see the
treasures that, as part of the National Park System,
have been conserved for them . . . and their children
. . . and their children's children.
It is good that this is so . . . for a nation that cherishes
the heritage of its past can face its future with confidence.
SINCLAIR SALUTES THE NATIONAL CEOCRAPHIC SOCIETY for so actively supporting
the conservation of America's natural resources and scenic treasures. In addition to pushing
back the historic horizons of the Southwest, the Society has added to the world's geographic
knowledge through more than 100 expeditions ranging from
pole to pole, up into the stratosphere and down to the ocean
floor. A staunch friend of the National Parks from the very beginning,
the Society and its Magazine were instrumental in the
establishment of the National Park System and made invaluable
contributions to many of the Parks.
