The Mammoth Quest: An Epic Expedition into the PastBy: Calvin SmithAfter a 45-year career as a museologist, archaeologist, paleontologist and historian, Calvin B. Smith retired the first time after a 20-year tenure at Baylor University as founder and Chair of the Department of Museum Studies, Director of the Strecker Museum Complex and the Waco Mammoth Site that has recently been designated as a National Monument.

He decides to make a 600 mile trek from a known lithic resource, the Alibates Flint Quarry, in north Texas to the largest recorded Folsom campsite, Lindenmeier, in northern Colorado. During the second venture, he finds and lives with a small group of these people until he reenters the 21st century. The ending has a controversial encounter but one that is becoming more plausible as a result of recent archaeological research, documentation and publication. …
