There are not that many Highly Accurate images of Esther Schiff Goldfrank out there but the Glenbow Museum in Calgary has digitized a large portion of her fieldwork archive, albeit in small form. Goldfrank started out as Boas’s secretary and then developed into an anthropologist in her own right. Her scarce but vivid Notes on an Undirected Life  depicts her life in detail, and spends a fair amount of time taking aim at other, more well-known but less ethnographically accomplished authors (read: Ruth Benedict) for the limits of their work!

Can someone please explain to me why I remember learning about Bogs so much?

And when I say so much I mean, out of all the field trips we went to in elementary or middle school, the only one I remember is going to the Glenbow Museum to learn about BOGS!
