The Southwestern Journals of Adolph F. Bandelier, 1889-1892

This fourth volume of Adolph F. Bandelier's journals covers the final years of what the pioneer anthropologist considered "the greatest undertaking of my life." During the three and a half years covered here, Bandelier was primarily in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In this volume, there is considerable information on his studies of the Puebloan culture and history visiting pueblos and archaeological sites. In addition, he commented on some of the social and economic problems, including local politics, land development, and education, of a territory just beginning to seek statehood.
