“This volume will be required reading for anyone interested in the history of American anthropology. It is the first substantial history of anthropology at Harvard University, which has the oldest department and museum of anthropology in North America, and along the way it also considers most of the anthropological institutions of the period. A basic reference work, it is full of interesting and entertaining accounts of many of the leading—and some not so leading—anthropologists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.”—Ira Jacknis, author of The Storage Box of Tradition: Kwakiutl Art, Anthropologists, and Museums, 1881–1981
