The National Museum in Washington D.C. (part of the Smithsonian museums) began in 1875 to issue "Bulletins" that consisted of a series of separate publications comprising chiefly monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises, faunal work, reports of expeditions, etc. This present book forms No. 87 of the Second Museum – Gates Expedition, conducted in 1905 along the San Fransico River on the Arizona – New Mexico border.

Walter Hough (1859 – 1935) was an American ethnologist who worked for the Smithsonian Institution beginning as an assistant (1886 – 1894), then assistant curator of ethnology (1896 – 1910) and as curator from 1910 until his death in 1935. Hough's work primarily revolved around cataloging the museum's collections, he also spent time doing archaeological field work in the American Southwest. During the 1905 expedition, Hough unearthed preserved cobs of maize in a cave in New Mexico that helped subsequent archaeologist determine that the Mogollon ethnic group inhabited the area before the Anasazi Puebloans, who were previously considered to be the area's earliest inhabitants.
