Book Synopsis American Egyptologist by : Jeffrey Abt
Book excerpt: James Henry Breasted (1865-1935) had a career that epitomizes our popular image of the archaeologist. In this work, Abt 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.
