Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Games of the North American Indians The death of Major J. W. Powell, Director of the Bureau, occurred at Haven, Me., on September 23, 1902. This event profoundly affected the interests of the Bureau, and closed an epoch in the history of the science of man. The wisdom of the foundation laid by Director Powell is everywhere recognized, and the impetus given to anthropological studies by his work must continue to be felt long after the present initial stage of the science has ripened into knowledge which shall help to regulate and direct the future development of the human race.
