A Scientist On The Trail, Travel Letters Of A. F. Bandelier, 1880-1881 is a book that contains a collection of letters written by Adolph Francis Alphonse Bandelier, a Swiss-American archaeologist and ethnologist, during his travels in the American Southwest in 1880-1881. The letters were addressed to his friend and mentor, Charles Rau, who was a curator at the Smithsonian Institution. The book is edited and annotated by George P. Hammond, who provides valuable historical context and explanations for Bandelier's observations and experiences. The letters offer a fascinating glimpse into the rugged and remote landscapes of the Southwest, as well as the cultures and traditions of the Native American tribes that Bandelier encountered during his travels. Bandelier's letters cover a wide range of topics, including his explorations of ancient ruins and archaeological sites, his interactions with Native American tribes, his observations on the flora and fauna of the region, and his thoughts on the history and culture of the Southwest. The book also includes illustrations and photographs that help to bring Bandelier's travels to life. Overall, A Scientist On The Trail, Travel Letters Of A. F. Bandelier, 1880-1881 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, culture, and natural beauty of the American Southwest, as well as the life and work of one of the region's most important early archaeologists and ethnologists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
