Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from A Preliminary Study of the Pueblo of Taos New Mexico: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculties of the Graduate, Schools of Arts, Literature, and Science, in Candidacy, for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Anthropology This brief account of the Pueblo of Taos is the result mainly of a three-months visit at the Pueblo in the summer of 1896. Now that a few friends have been made there, it is hoped that at a later time a more complete and thorough study may be made. The repeated references to the Papers of the Archceological Institute of America show how much I am indebted to the writings of Mr. A. F.Bandelier. In spelling the few native names which occur in this study and which I have not seen mentioned before, I have followed the alphabet given in Powell's Introduction to the Study of Indian Languages.

This definitive, detail-packed biography is the first of Frederick Starr (1856-1933), a founding father of American anthropology at the University of Chicago. It presents a major reevaluation of Starr’s place as the missionizer of anthropology, illuminates the consequences of the professionalization of anthropology, and yields a greater understanding of the United States as it moved into a position of global power. Donald McVicker considers Frederick Starr’s colorful life in the context of the times.In many respects Starr’s early career paralleled that of Franz Boas, “the architect of American anthropology.” Nonetheless, as Boas led professional anthropology into the twentieth century in the United States, Starr, the popularizer, increasingly fell behind. Today, if Starr is remembered at all, he is usually described in terms of his intellectual, professional, and ethical failings. Yet his collections, publications, and photographic and paper archives provide a rich set of resources for archaeologists, ethnologists, folklorists, and historians. McVicker argues that Starr’s mission to bring anthropology to the public and enlighten them was as valid a goal during his career as was Boas’s goal to professionalize the field.
