Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the Smithsonian Institution's early studies, published since 1881 in such official publications as the Bureau of American Ethnology's reports and bulletins, have remained major sources of information on North American Indians. The Classics of Smith-sonian Anthropology series makes available, for the first time in decades, some of the most important of these basic works. This book restores to print four of the most influential works of William Henry Holmes, who, at the turn of the nineteenth century, pioneered methods that formed the foundations of a new, more scientifically based archaeology.
