Charles F. Lummis was the restless Eastern transplant who walked across the continent to Los Angeles in 1884 and spent the rest of his life championing the Southwest and founding the Southwest Museum. This volume gathers the photographs he made in the Rio Grande pueblos in the late 1880s and 1890s, when he lived for years at Isleta among Pueblo neighbors. Drawn from the Southwest Museum's collection by Patrick T. and Betsy E. Houlihan, the pictures show silversmiths and daily Pueblo life with a directness rare for the period.
Patrick Houlihan, a former director of the Southwest Museum, brought scholarly care to selecting and captioning the images. This first edition, an Entrada Book from Flagstaff's Northland Press, is inscribed on the title page to a named recipient and signed by Patrick Houlihan, November 1986.
