About the Author
About the Author:
"James Mooney (1861-1921) was an American anthropologist who lived for several years among the Cherokee. He was born at Richmond, Indiana. In 1885 he became connected with the Bureau of American Ethnology at Washington, D.C. He compiled a tribal list containing 3,000 titles. His most notable work was his ethnographic study of the Ghost Dance, a widespread religious movement among various Native American culture groups that ended in 1890 with a bloody massacre of Lakota people at Wounded Knee, South Dakota." (Quote from wikipedia.org) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
