It was 1917, and the best way from Chicago to Collinsville, Illinois, where Junior's aunt lived, was by train. On the train, Junior meets a mysterious stranger named Hawk. A former Rough Rider, and archeologist, Hawk was on his way to Collinsville for a very different reason. He was going to the mound city of Cahokia. A thousand years before, Cahokia was the sight of one of the largest cities in the world. Once the home to as many as 20,000 Native American inhabitants, Cahokia's fertile land and proximity to the Mississippi made it the most powerful city in North America. Hawk was there to dig for artifacts in and around Monks Mound--and, Junior soon learns, that his new friend was searching for something else.
