Sommaire

Parcours

Compagnon de promotion de Theodore Roosevelt à Harvard, il abandonne les études pour exercer le journalisme à Cincinnati. En 1884 il est embauché par le Los Angeles Times. Il parcourt à pied les 3500 miles qui séparent Cincinnati de Los Angeles (12 000 habitants à cette époque) et tombe amoureux du sud-ouest des Etats-unis et des amérindiens. Ses carnets de voyage feront l'objet d'un livre: A Tramp Across the Continent.

IL vécut plusieurs années à Isleta où il rencontra son ami le Padre Anton Docher[1]. Il fut un infatiguable défenseur des indiens. En 1892 il publie Some Strange Corners of Our Country.

Il part ensuite pour le Pérou avec son ami l'Ethnologue Adolph Francis Alphonse Bandelier, où il devient aveugle. Sa cessité sera inexplicablement réversible[2].
