My adventures in Zuñi,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Adventures in Zuni (Paperback)
I was first introduced to the Zuni by Tony Hillerman's writing. Later by visits to the area. Soon I decided to add a little depth of knowledge. Who better to turn to than a Zuñi? Of course Frank Hamilton Cushing (1857-1900), as a pioneer of Pueblo culture.
There are more extensive and comprehensive Cushing books. However this book makes a great introduction. It is a reissue of articles written in "The Century Magazine" and a couple of articles by Sylvester Baxter, a visitor of Cushing. The book is under 100 pages and has black and white drawings of people and places.
