Ethnohistoric Research (Investigation Type)

A History of the Chaco Navajos (1980)
DOCUMENT Full-Text David M. Brugge.

The prehistory of the Chaco country will always remain a sphere dominated by the anthropological approach, for no contemporary written records of the human occupation were ever made. Any attempt to discern what took place must be reconstructed from the campsites, ruins, potsherds, and legends that supply a cloudy picture of developments and events seemingly lost in the passage of centuries. Each new generation is able to bring new tools and concepts into play in our efforts to produce an account...

Homesteads on Fort Richardson, Alaska (2001)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Kristy Hollinger.

This study was intended to be a companion to the Elmendorf Air Force Base Homestead Study, though the scope and focus are somewhat different due to the later date at which the majority of homestead applications were filed in this area. Fort Richardson probably received less initial homestead settlement because it was further away from Anchorage. The intent of this study is to document the history of homesteading in the area and establish a historic context of the time period. This is necessary...
