Description
 
This long-awaited fourth volume of Adolph F. Bandelier's journals covers the final years of what the pioneer anthropologist considered - the greatest undertaking of my life.  Durning the 3 1/2 years recorded here, Bandelier was primarily in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

In the years covered by this fourth volume, Bandelier turned from his widely ranging interests to a greater emphasis on documentary material as it related to his study of Puebloan culture history. He continued to visit various pueblos and also archaeological sites.  In addition, he commented on some of the social and economic problems, local politics, land development, and education, of a territory just beginning to seek statehood.

As in each of the earlier volumes, the editors have provided an overview of his life and career, including significant data from previously unused portions of his correspondence and newly available source material; again, there is thorough annotation of the journal entries.  The southwestern journals and with his final departure from Santa Fe and the beginning of a new period of his life and career in South America.

Adolph F. Bandelier was important in early southwestern anthropology and history, and today he is recognized as a forerunner of present-day F. no history.  For the general reader, the journals offer a unique picture of southwestern life of the late 19th century, and a scholar will find primary materials available nowhere else.
