Thanks are due to two authors who have brought forward a selection of 124 gorgeous duotone images from a much larger collection of images in the archives of the American Museum of Natural History. Root, now emeritus, was director of the research library when she came across the extraordinary collection; she joined forces with Milanich (curator emeritus, Florida Museum of Natural History) to prepare this volume. They provide contextual essays and captions for the photos, which were taken over a period of five years beginning in 1905, by Julian Dimrock, a 31-year old photographer who travelled to the area with his father, a New York financier.
