The book to read about Southwest archaeology in the 1920s

This book was a bestseller when it came out in the 1930s, and helped fuel a fad of interest in Southwest archaeology. Ann Axtell Morris wanted to be an archaeologist, so she married one. Her husband, Earl Morris, is the epitome of that era, dressing the part and doing the grunt work to preserve the buildings and walls, as well as removing the objects. Some of his methods are not just objectionable but totally offensive today, as you'll see in the photos of mummies of Indians being treated like objects. That was the awful reality of the times. Ann Axtell Morris went on the digs with him and wrote this fascinating memoir.
