Taking part in a combined ethnographic and archaeological research project awarded to Washington State University, anthropologist Smith (1913-99) reviews regional ethnographies, studied park records, and interviewed tribal elders to gather information on the Native People who used the Mount Rainier area during living memory. In 1963, before a scheduled archaeological survey began, he completed his Ethnographic Guide to the Archaeology of Mt. Rainier National Park, which survived only in several mimeographed typescripts until they were discovered in 1995 by anthropologists. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
