of Mankind (four editions, 1933-42); Prehistoric Man 

 (three editions, 1933-41); and The Field Museum-Oxford 

 University ]oint Expedition to Kish, Mesopotamia, 1923- 

 1929 (1929). 



Dr. Field's popular works most clearly display his 

 genuine delight in his scientific studies and, in particu- 

 lar, the travels and expeditions that accompanied them. 

 He was a graceful writer, able to communicate his knowl- 

 edge and enthusiasm to a general audience. This is most 

 clearly demonstrated in his The Track of Man: Adventures 

 of an Anthropologist (New York, 1953). This immensely 

 successful work was reprinted many times. Persons inter- 

 ested in anthropology and Field Museum will find it a 

 very rewarding book. In later years Dr. Field published 

 three other autobiographical works: Arabian Desert Tales 

 (1976, revised edition 1977); Trail Blazers: Chicago to 

 Moscow (1980); and The Track of Man: Volume 2, The 

 White House Years, 1941-1945 (1982). These and other 

 works by Dr. Field may be consulted in the Museum's 

 Library, which possesses a large number of his more than 

 850 scientific and popular books, papers, and articles. A 

 list of these may be found in his Bibliography: 1926- 

 1976 (1976). 



Dr. Field's interest in Field Museum was a continu- 

 ing one that was still strong 35 years after he had left. 

 The Library, in particular, has been augmented by his 

 many gifts of books and papers over the years, culminat- 

 ing in the gift of his library of over 1,000 volumes on 

 Southwestern Asia, including many early works on 

 travel and exploration. A later gift of archival material 

 was received, including reports and diaries, and a copy of 

 the typescript of The Track of Man. 



Dr. Field has left a body of useful work that will be 

 long remembered at Field Museum and elsewhere. He is 

 still remembered at Kish, though for a somewhat differ- 

 ent reason, as evinced by this anecdote related by a 

 Field Museum Member: During the Museum's excavations 

 at Kish, probably in the late 1920s or early 1930s, Dr. 

 Field "managed to get his open touring car from Beirut to 

 the site — an expedition in itself. In 1974 a member of 

 the Field Museum was in Iraq [and] went to Kish with an 

 archaeologist who had dug there too. As they were 

 wandering through the ruins they were joined by some 

 children from the village. The member mentioned to his 

 companion the name 'Henry Field.' Suddenly the chil- 

 dren came to life. One started dancing in a Charleston- 

 type fashion. Another pretended to be driving a car, 

 crouching over a pretend steering wheel and making 

 appropriate noises — everyone getting into the act. 

 These children were at least two generations younger 

 than the man who had worked for Henry Field, but he 

 had made such an impact on the village, taking them for 

 rides, teaching them dancing that he was a legend in 

 his time." FH 



Giving — AND — Receiving 



Anyone who has given property generously is well 

 aware of the satisfaction received. But do you realize 

 there are ways you can give to Field Museum of Natural 

 History and receive both the joy of giving and an income 

 for life? 



By transferring cash, stock, real estate, or other 

 property to the Museum, you can establish a trust, pro- 

 viding either a fixed or variable income for life. After 

 your lifetime, the Museum receives the trust assets for its 

 Endowment, which, in turn, gives the Museum income 

 in perpetuity. 



You may, instead, choose to join the Museum's 

 Pooled Income Fund, by transferring a minimum of 

 $10,000 (again, in cash or stock) in exchange for lifetime 

 payments. Through the Pooled Income Fund you can 

 benefit from professional management of funds and 

 make a substantial gift to the Museum's Endowment at 

 the end of your life. Once joining the Pooled Income 

 Fund, you can add to your income interest at any time in 

 $1,000 increments.

 methods, send today for our complimentary brochures
