A Guide to Materials Bearing on Cultural Relations in New Mexico

Excerpt from A Guide to Materials Bearing on Cultural Relations in New MexicoThe main motivation of the undertaking was purely academic. When Our School was founded it was keenly felt that any discerning work we might be able to do in the field Of cultural relations in the Southwest must be based on authoritative knowledge of the work that had been done before. Bibliographical research is tedious, but rewarding. It brings to the scholar the awareness Of the field and a perspective for the evaluation Of what has been accomplished in it. It points to original contributions not generally known, to duplications which should have been avoided, to areas which are waiting to be animated by study. A critical bibliography is the essential tool of the investigator - his directive, his brakes, and his spring board.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
