Synopses & Reviews
Like the editors previous volume, The North Mexican Frontier, this volume is intended as a source book for specialists and students of archaeology, ethnology, cultural geography, and history. Several of the readings, more general in nature, will prove fascinating for the general reader with a particular interest in the American Indian and the Southwest.
Readings chosen are those that first introduced a new concept, presented a still-significant body of data or a durable thesis, or developed off-beat ideas which have never been fully explored. Represented is a varied group of pioneering writing of T. Mitchell Prudden, William Duncan Strong, A. V. Kidder, J. Walter Fewkes, Aldolph F. Bandelier, Mody C. Boatright, Charles F. Lummis, Donald D. Brand, and William P. Blake.
