James Henry Breasted (1865-1935) had a career that epitomizes our popular image of the archaeologist. This book weaves together the disparate strands of Breasted's life, from his small-town origins following the Civil War to his evolution into the father of American Egyptology and the founder of the Oriental Institute in the University of Chicago.
