528 EXPEDITION TO ARIZONA IN 1895 [ETH. ANN. 17 
often unjust criticism that Indians will not work if paid for their labor, 
was not voiced by any of our party. They gave many a weary hour’s 
labor in the hot sun, in their enthusiasm to make the collection as large 
as possible. 
On my return to Washington I was invited to prepare a preliminary 
account of my work in the field, which the Secretary of the Smithson- 
ian Institution did me the honor to publish in his report for 1895, This 
report was of a very general character, and from necessity limited in 
pages; consequently it presented only the more salient features of my 
explorations. 
The following account was prepared as a more exhaustive discussion 
of the results of my summer’s work. The memoir is much more ex- 
tended than I had expected to make it when I accepted the invitation 
to collect archeological objects for the Museum, and betrays, I fear, im- 
perfections due to the limited time spent in the field. The main object 
of the expedition was a collection of specimens, the majority of which, 
now on exhibition in the National Museum, tell their own story regard- 
ing its success. 
Tam under deep obligations to the officers of the Smithsonian Insti- 
tution, the National Museum, and the Bureau of American Ethnology 
for many kindnesses, and wish especially to express my thanks to Mr 
S. P. Langley, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, for the oppor- 
tunity to study the ancient ruins of Tusayan. Nothing had a greater 
influence on my final decision to abandon other congenial work and 
undertake this, than my profound respect for the late Dr G. Brown 
Goode, who suggested the expedition to me and urged me to plan and 
undertake it.
