Carl Lumholtz (1851 1922) was a Norwegian ethnographer and explorer
who, soon after publishing an influential study of Australian
Aborigines (also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection),
spent five years researching native peoples in Mexico. This
two-volume work, published in 1903, describes his expeditions to
remote parts of north-west Mexico, inspired by reports about
indigenous peoples who lived in cliff dwellings along
mountainsides. While in the US in 1890 on a lecture tour, Lumholtz
was able to raise sufficient funds for the expedition. He arrived
in Mexico City that summer, and after meeting the president,
Porfirio D az, he set off with a team of scientists for the Sierra
Madre del Norte mountains in the north-west of Mexico, to find the
cave-dwelling Tarahumare Indians. Volume 1 covers the start of the
expedition and Tarahumare life, etiquette and beliefs, as well as
details of the natural history of this little-explored region.
