On a Trail of Southwest Discovery - The Expedition Diaries of Frederick W. Hodge and Margaret W. Magill, 1886-1888

This volume examines the Hemenway Southwestern Archaeological Expedition, directed by Frank Hamilton Cushing, through the diaries of two participants who fell in love on the expedition: the field secretary, Fred Hodge--who became a major figure in early twentieth-century anthropology--and the expedition artist, Margaret Magill. Divided into three parts, the book's first two sections chronicle the field operations of the expedition, while the third part describes the anthropological career of Hodge after the end of the expedition.
