In the highlands of Papua New Guinea there exists widespread legends concerning a "Time of Darkness" in which there was no light and ash fell from the skies. The author investigates these legends and, in conjunction with measurement and analysis of the ash, which covers a large area of the highlands, determines that 300 years ago there was a cataclysmic volcano eruption on Long Island and the legends are essentially accurate accounts of this gigantic upheaval that is unrecorded in any written records.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
