Back in the late nineteenth century, Clarence B. Moore made the most
astounding of voyages,
yes voyages. In fact many, and all never more than a few feet from shore.
He travelled the many large rivers of Southeast America, the Ohio, the Mississippi, the
Tennessee rivers and many more. With a paddle wheeler as his ship,
he became the premiere
archaeologist of his time.
With a rider on horse back, his guide, he explored countless site along the banks and nearby
country side.
At a time when little was known of dating, his work would tell us today of the past pottery art of
pre Colombian America. From a set of his papers, the Pecos will reproduce many of his works.
Today these papers are very rare, the Pecos Rio Grande museum is pleased it may share them with you.
Among the hundreds of black and white photos taken and offered, of recovered artifacts, most
from the burials encountered, there are a considerable number of color plates. These are art of art,
in color and paint, some of man's great art of the time.
It will take a great amount of time to reproduce these for the net, so this display will grow over
time. I am sure you will want to come back and visit it again.
So I now invite my visitors to some tea, as it was served several hundred years ago.
