First edition thus, rare offprint. This lecture really is just a basic outline of sociology. Powell is known as the first non-Native American to explore the Grand Canyon. He was later the first director of the Bureau of Ethnology at the Smithsonian Institution during his service as director of the U.S. Geological Survey, where he supported linguistic and sociological research and publications.
OCLC lists just four copies, at the Autry Museum of the American West, Library of Congress, Smithsonian and Yale.
