Críticas

"Lumholtz is a cheerful and graphic narrator as well as an intrepid explorer....There is much told about regards Indian life, ancient customs and superstitions, and the like that is little known, and Mr. Lumholtz makes it all, together with his personal adventures, decidedly entertaining as well as informative." --Outlook"His Papago contacts probably considered him and his camera a nuisance, and tribal elders objected to his freewheeling purchases of native crafts and ceremonial items. But even so, Lumholz was enough of an ethnologist to recognize a culture on the threshold of transition from its traditional ways to acceptance of a more Anglo-European lifestyle, and he records in his book much that was being lost." --Journal of Arizona History
