There is but one important precedent for this undertaking,[1] and that single-handed instead of collective, and therefore depictive of one people only, the Keresan Pueblos. This is _The Delight Makers_ of Bandelier, archæologist, archivist, historian, and ethnologist of a generation ago; and this _novel_ still renders a more comprehensive and coherent view of native Pueblo life than any scientific volume on the Southwest.
