Title	Mesa Verde, general views
Creator(s)	Nusbaum, Jesse L. (Jesse Logan)
Summary	Deric Nusbaum, Jesse's stepson, stands among the ruins of Spruce Tree House, one of the largest cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde National Park. Wearing shorts and a Boy Scouts of America shirt, he holds a copy of an atlatl in his left hand. An atlatl was a weapon used by the ancient Basket- Maker cliff dwellers to hunt. As described by Deric in his book "Deric in Mesa Verde" it is a long stick that lengthens the arm and allows a person to throw long darts farther. Several ; window openings remain in the standing walls of the ruins. A large tree stump is in the left foreground.
