Indians," Memoir of the American Museum of Natural History.
The present volumes give a succinct account of my travels and work
among the remote peoples of the Sierra Madre del Norte and the
countries adjacent to the south and east as far as the City of Mexico.
Most of what I tell here refers to a part of the Republic that is never
visited by tourists and is foreign even to most Mexicans. Primitive
people are becoming scarce on the globe. On the American continents
there are still some left in their original state. If they are studied before
they, too, have lost their individuality or been crushed under the heels
of civilisation, much light may be thrown not only upon the early
people of this country but upon the first chapters of the history of
mankind.
In the present rapid development of Mexico it cannot be prevented that
these primitive people will soon disappear by fusion with the great
nation to whom they belong. The vast and magnificent virgin forests
and the mineral wealth of the mountains will not much longer remain
the exclusive property of my dusky friends; but I hope that I shall have
rendered them a service by setting them this modest monument, and
that civilised man will be the better for knowing of them.
That I have been able to accomplish what I did I owe, in the first place,
to the generosity of the people of the United States, to their impartiality
and freedom from prejudice, which enables foreigners to work shoulder
to shoulder with their own advance guard. I wish to extend my thanks
in particular to the American Geographical Society of New York, and
still more especially to the American Museum of Natural History of
New York, with whom I have had the honour of being connected more
or less closely for ten years. To its public-spirited and whole-souled
President, Mr. Morris K. Jesup, I am under profound obligations. I also
take pleasure in acknowledging my indebtedness to Mr. Andrew
Carnegie, who initiated my Mexican ventures with a subscription of
$1,000; furthermore to the Hon. Cecil Baring, Mr. Frederick A.
Constable, Mr. William E. Dodge, Mr. James Douglass, Mrs. Joseph W.
Drexel, Mr. George J. Gould, Miss Helen Miller Gould, Mr. Archer M.
Huntington, Mr. Frederick E. Hyde, Mr. D. Willis James, Col. James K.
