Order of First North Americans Books

W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear have crafted an expansive historical fiction series titled The First North Americans, exploring the rich tapestry of prehistoric civilizations that flourished across the continent long before European contact. This ambitious literary collection traces the journey from the earliest migrations that brought the ancestors of Native American peoples to North America through the development of their diverse cultures and societies.

The series launched in 1990 with the publication of People of the Wolf, immediately followed by People of the Fire in the same year, establishing the Gears as prominent voices in prehistoric historical fiction. The books chronicle the various indigenous civilizations that emerged across North America, offering readers an immersive look into these ancient worlds and the peoples who shaped them.
