This great book by C. W. Ceram, like his Gods, Graves and Scholars, promises to become a classic. The First American embodies a spirit of ad- venture and romance in its account of the origins and early history of the American Indians. Who was the first American? When did he first come upon the North American continent? The story unfolds with the suspense of a tale of mystery. Ceram retraces the routes followed by explorers, scientists, and archaeologists, and takes a fresh look at the material they have discovered. He considers in this broader context many clues that have long baffled specialists. As a result, The First American provides the answers to a number of important questions. The author reveals the astounding richness of the American Indians' cultural legacy. Frequently he poses new, puzzling problems of historical interpretation. Drawing upon his impressive knowledge of archaeology in general and American archaeology and anthropology in particular, C. W. Ceram leaves scarcely a significant shard or stratum unturned. His is a pioneering work, as engrossing as it is original. It adds to our growing awareness and understanding of the American past. C. W. Ceram, whose real name is Kurt W. Marek, was born in Berlin in 1915. For many years he was a literary critic, newspaperman, and a prominent figure in the German publishing world, serving as an editor on the daily newspaper Die Welt in Hamburg and as editor-in-chief for the book house of Ernst Rowohlt Verlag. The publication of Gods, Graves and Scholars in 1949 brought him worldwide fame. This distinguished book won both popular and critical praise; it has been translated into twenty-six languages. In 1954 Kurt Marek moved to the United States and now (1971) lives with his wife and son in Woodstock, New York. His other works on archaeology include The Secret of the Hittites, The March of Archaeology, and Hands on the Past. Mr. Marek is an authority on the cinema. Not only has he written Archaeology of the Cinema; he has also written and directed documentary films. Marek, Hannelore (illustrator). …
