Ozarks Before the Fall: Clovis Hunters, Giants, and the Lost World That BurnedWhat if the ancient springs, bluffs, and hollows of Eureka Springs hold memories of a world that was suddenly and violently destroyed?In Ozarks Before the Fall, author F. K. Sterling uncovers the forgotten saga of the Ozark Mountains before the cataclysm. Long before the Victorian streets of Eureka Springs existed, these hills were home to Clovis hunters, towering giants, and an advanced lost civilization that thrived in a lush, bountiful paradise.
Drawing on archaeological finds, giant skeleton reports, Native American oral histories, and compelling local legends from the Eureka Springs area, Sterling reveals evidence of a sophisticated culture that suddenly vanished - consumed by fire and flood in a cataclysmic event that scorched the ancient landscape. For Eureka Springs residents and curious visitors alike, this book will forever change how you see your home.
The next time you stand beside a sacred spring or hike a misty trail, you may sense the echoes of those who came before - the giants, the hunters, and the brilliant civilization that burned in the fall of the ancient world. Meticulously researched yet wildly captivating, Ozarks Before the Fall connects Eureka Springs' mysterious energy to one of the greatest untold stories in North American prehistory.
