Biografisk notat
Cora Du Bois (1903–91) was the first woman to receive tenure in anthropology at Harvard University, in 1954, and did important research in Indonesia and India as well as California. She served as the president of the American Anthropological Society and was the author of many books, including The People of Alor, Wintu Myths, and Social Forces in the Southeast. Thomas Buckley is an independent scholar. His most recent book is Standing Ground: Yurok Indian Spirituality, 1850–1990."[Buckley] treats readers to an excellent overview of early anthropology and DuBois's place in its development. . . . Graduate students and . . . upper division undergraduates would certainly benefit from Buckley's primer followed by a reading of the actual text."—<i>Oregon Historical Quarterly<br /></i> "Since it was first published in 1939, The 1870 Ghost Dance has long been unavailable to scholars.

Monnett, <i>Historian</i>
