  1. With an Introduction on the General History of the American Race. Illustrated. Part I of the book is a summary of Indian culture history as it is now known to students of the native American race; in the light of this Part II with a similar treatment of the Indian communities of the Southwest, concerning which every statement is verifiable or the contrary, since a considerable body of Pueblo Indians survive and live the ancient life. Part III, under the title, The Realm of the Pick and Spade, will have to do mainly with the ruins of towns that flourished and passed out of existence without having been seen by a member of the white race; of which there was not a survivor when the Spanish occupation began nearly four centuries ago; towns of which not a scrap of contemporary literature exists. In addition, the story will be told of towns and provinces that have passed into the archaeological realm during the period of recorded history-a process that may be called archaeology in the making.
