Excerpt from The Old New World: An Account of the Explorations of the Hemenway South-Western Expedition in 1887-88, Under the Direction of Frank Hamilton Cushing
This account of the Hemenway Southwestern Archaeological Expedition in the Salado and Gila valleys in Arizona is the result of observations made by the writer during three months spent with the expedition in the early part of the year. It was originally printed in the Boston Herald of April 15, 1888, and is reproduced in this form in response to various requests. With in this compass it was, of course, impossible to give more than a synopsis of what has been accomplished. Various important features have here been simply mentioned which will demand treatment in detail for the satisfaction of earnest students. These requirements will be fully met in the forthcoming report by Mr. Gushing, who also intends to treat separately certain interesting aspects of his discoveries. Meanwhile the writer hopes that these indications of what has been done in little more than a years research may contribute somewhat towards awakening a sense of the importance of the vast mines of treasure relating to the primitive conditions of mankind and the early cultures of the race - so essential to an understanding of what man is and guidance to a knowledge of what he may become - awaiting the attention of serious investigators in our Western World.
