| In this densely detailed book, Nancy J. Parezo and Don D. Fowler narrate the story of anthropology at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. Expositions were commonplace at this time, but the St. Louis fair was one of the largest and most important of the era. One reason for its importance was the central position of anthropology in the fair's organization and range of exhibits and attractions. |
