The Early Career of Robert Lowie

[John Boyle]

Martha Beckwith was a student of Boas' who worked on the Ft. Berthold
Reservation among many other places.  She recorded a number of Mandan
and Hidatsa stories.  Although they are published in English there is
a chance that she might have had notes or original transcriptions in
Mandan and Hidatsa.  I'm still working on this.

>heavily reprised in Boas & Swanton 1911, is credited to a seminar led by
>Boas and involving "Miss Martha W. Beckwith, Mr. Albert B. Lewis, and Mr.
>R.A. Lowie."  I don't recognize Beckwith or Lewis.
