From the opening paragraph, "One hot summer day in 1879, as I was sitting in my office in the ivy-mantled old South Tower of the Smithsonian Institution, a messenger boy tapped at my door, and said: 'Professor Baird wishes to see you, sir.' The professor, picking up his umbrella and papers, came toward the door as I entered. 'Haven't I heard you say you would like to go to New Mexico to study the cliff-houses and Pueblo Indians?' 'Yes, sir.' 'Very well then, be ready to accompany Colonel Stevenson's collecting party, as ethnologist, within four days. I want you to find out all you can about some typical tribe of Pueblo Indians.'" Housed in protective mylar report cover.. Illustr.: H. Farny and W. I. Metcalf. Book. Book Condition: VG.
