The Door in the Wall

The study of people with customs different from ours is a door to understanding them—a door in the wall that separates people. The author of this collection of stories lived for many years among the Indian tribes of the American Southwest. He writes about a subject he knows well—about scientists like himself who try to understand the ancient mysteries of Indian life. For his book, Laughing Boy, Oliver La Farge won the Pulitzer Prize in 1930.
