Tells the remarkable story of Franz Boas, one of the leading scholars and public intellectuals of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The first book in a two-part biography, this volume begins with the anthropologist's birth in 1858 and ends with his resignation from the American Museum of Natural History in 1906.
