Summary "The 'First Americans' is a book that tells a long-overlooked study - how probably as long as 35,000 years ago, America's first settlers, the ancient Indians, braved frigid cold and unspeakable hardship to migrate from Siberia into what is now Canada and the United States. Tracking big game across the land bridge that then existed between Asia and America, they entered and populated a virgin continent." - book jacket
