This book tells the fascinating story of the Piasa Bird, an ancient Native American geoglyph believed to depict the ancient deity of the Mississippi River Valley. Carved into a limestone bluff overlooking the river, the Piasa Bird was first encountered and described by the French missionary Father Jacques Marquette in 1673. The bird, which measured 260 feet in length, was revered by local Native American tribes as a fierce guardian spirit. The book recounts the tragic events that led to the Piasa Bird's destruction, while also exploring the intriguing historical and anthropological significance of the geoglyph. Through the author's thorough research and captivating storytelling, this book provides a comprehensive study of the Piasa Bird, offering new insights into its cultural and historical significance, solidifying its place in the annals of Native American history.
