Archeological Expedition to Arizona in 1895 Seventeenth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1895-1896, Government Printing Office, Washington, 1898, pages 519-744

"Archeological Expedition to Arizona in 1895" by Jesse Walter Fewkes is a late 1800s study about an archaeological dig in Arizona and hopes to connect evidence of native people with the traditions of modern Hopi Indians. The publication starts with an invite to gather old objects for the National Museum which resulted in a close look at the ruins and cliff houses in Verde Valley and Tusayan. It explains the starting plans, people who helped, and details of what was found, showing just how hard and valuable the effort to record and understand ancient Pueblo life really was. The beginning sets up an organized study of the area's archaeological features, proving the writer's excitement and the careful, scientific approach that the writer brought to his observations.
