| Summary: | "This publication presents the first volume (Las Vegas) of the early ethnographic field work of anthropologist Isabel T. Kelly. From 1932 to 1934, Kelly interviewed thirty Southern Paiute people from southeastern California, southern Nevada, northern Arizona, and southern Utah about "the old ways." She filled 31 notebooks, made maps, took photographs, collected nearly 300 ethnobotanical specimens, purchased and shipped over 400 ethnographic artifacts to museums, and traveled more than 7,000 miles. Her notes comprise the most extensive primary ethnographic documentation of Southern Paiure/Chemehuevi lifeways of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although Kelly intended to publish these notes, she was unable to do so before her death. Fowler and Garey-Sage have now synthesized the first set of these handwritten field notes and sketches, providing organization, commentary, and illustrations to put them in context for the modern reader. Kelly's data, most of which could not be gathered today, are now available for generations to come"--Back cover. |
