The Attitude Of Galdos Toward The Carlists, Irma M. Barnes

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

Benito Pérez Galdós, one of Spain's greatest novelists since Cervantes, was so modest and reticent that little is known about his personal life and intimate thoughts. He who liked to tell stories so well that he gave to the world over a hundred, never wanted to tell his own.

The Ponca Indian Commission Of 1880 And 1881, Harriett Fisher Mckinley

History ETDs

According to A.L. Kroeber, Cushing's residence at Zuni from 1879 to 1894, laid the foundation for the study of ethnology in the Southwest.

It will be my purpose to summarize briefly briefly the history of general anthropology and ethnology, in order to indicate Cushing's place in the sequence as the new science developed.
