Published: Sept. 23, 2017, 5 p.m.

Gary A. David\xa0is an\xa0author and\xa0independent researcher who has been intrigued by the American Southwest since his initial trip there in 1987. The following year he lived for about six months in northern New Mexico, where he studied archaeological ruins\xa0and rock art. In 1994 he moved to Arizona and began an intensive study of the ancestral Pueblo People (sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Anasazi) and their descendants the Hopi.\xa0


In 2006\xa0after more than a decade of fieldwork and scholarly inquiry, his nonfiction book\xa0The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cites of the American Southwest\xa0was published. This volume describes a pattern of Hopi villages and ruin sites that precisely mirrors Orion, with an ancient site corresponding to\xa0each\xa0major star in the constellation.\xa0(See\xa0map\xa0page.) The sequel released in 2008 is titled\xa0Eye of the Phoenix: Mysterious Visions and Secrets of the American Southwest.\xa0

Mr. David earned a bachelors degree in Arts from Kent State University and a Master of Arts in the literature of the American West and creative writing from the University of Colorado.\xa0


He has worked as a adjunct professor of English and creative writing, a traveling ambassador for the South Dakota Arts Council, and a professional lead guitarist/vocalist.\xa0
