Books By Adolph Francis Alphonse Bandelier, Charles Fletcher Lummis, Mint Editions - Author

Adolph Francis Alphonse Bandelier (1840-1914) was a Swiss American archaeologist. Born in Bern, Switzerland, he emigrated to Illinois with his family as a young boy. Mentored by anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan, Bandelier turned to archaeology and ethnology, working with Native Americans in the American Southwest and Mexico. Alongside F. H. Cushing, he became an authority on the indigenous cultures of Sonora, New Mexico, and Arizona. In 1892, he travelled to Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, working with the Hemenway Archaeological Expedition. While in Isleta, New Mexico, he befriended Charles Fletcher Lummis, a journalist and activist who would collaborate with Bandelier on The Delight Makers (1890), a novel on Pueblo Indian life. Charles Fletcher Lummis (1859-1928) was an American journalist, activist, and historic preservationist. Born in Lynn, Massachusetts, he was homeschooled by his father and attended Harvard University. To pay for his studies, Lummis published Birch Bark Poems, an acclaimed collection. I
