““If one wants to recreate pre-Columbian Amazonia, most of the forest needs to be removed, with many people and a managed, highly productive landscape replacing it,” said William Woods, a geographer at the University of Kansas who is part of a team studying the Acre geoglyphs.

“I know that this will not sit well with ardent environmentalists,” Mr. Woods said, “but what else can one say?”

Landscapes change.

When my ancestors came to this county in 1889 there were NO TREES. Now much of it is covered by mesquite and other types of trees.

When they came it was all prairie grass. They broke out the grass covered land for the first time. There were no towns. There was no timber to build a home. They lived in Dugouts for a number of years. The little timber that was used in the construction was brought in by wagon.

They were a hardy and independent lot. They came here to be left alone and live their lives in peace. That is all we want today.

There is very little land in S. America that hasn’t been changed and molded by the hand of man for his own purposes.
