Comanche Ethnography: Field Notes of E. Adamson Hoebel, Waldo R. Wedel, Gustav G. Carlson, and Robert H. LowieIn the summer of 1933 in Lawton, Oklahoma, a team of six anthropologists met with eighteen Comanche elders to record the latter's reminiscences of traditional Comanche culture. The depth and breadth of what the elderly Comanches recalled provides an inestimable source of knowledge for generations to come, both within and beyond the Comanche community.

In the summer of 1933 in Lawton, Oklahoma, a team of six anthropologists met with eighteen Comanche elders to record the latter's reminiscences of traditional Comanche culture. The depth and breadth of what the elderly Comanches recalled provides an inestimable source of knowledge for generations to come, both within and beyond the Comanche community. This monumental volume makes available for the first time the largest archive of traditional cultural information on Comanches ever gathered by American anthropologists.Much of the Comanches' earlier world is presented here--religious stories, historical accounts, autobiographical remembrances, cosmology, the practice of war, everyday games, birth rituals, funerals, kinship relations, the organization of camps, material culture, and relations with other tribes.
Thomas W. Kavanagh tracked down all known surviving notes from the Santa Fe Laboratory field party and collated and annotated the records, learning as much as possible about the Comanche elders who spoke with the anthropologists and, when possible, attributing pieces of information to the appropriate elders. In addition, this volume includes Robert H. Lowie's notes from his short 1912 visit to the Comanches. The result stands as a legacy for both Comanches and those interested in learning more about them.

Exactly as I it hoped it to be!
Color: 1 pk
Such a great, little pepper grinder! Works very well and the adjustable grind size is a nice feature. Highly recommend if you need one that doesn't take up too much space.

much better than standard plastic cutting blades
Color: 2pk
They work well, and I'm not getting ground up plastic in my food.
One issue--the thin tops can be difficult to pry off, even with fingernails.
One of the tops came apart (metal cover, black plastic inner part), so I'll have to glue them together.

Grinds like a champ
Color: 2pk
It was meant to replace an older, different set of grinders, and so far, it's holding up well, and grinding the peppercorns easily. The salt crystals are mostly uniform, but that's OK since we don't use it as a finishing salt. If we ever need to replace them, which I hope not this soon, we'd buy this one again.

Sleek and modern looking grinder
Color: 1 pk
Product was packaged securely and arrived in perfect condition with a cute thank you note. After a quick test and adjusting the grind coarseness, I think this will work great! Seems to be nice quality for the price. We'll see how it holds up over time.
Amazon delivered to the wrong address, but I was able to retrieve the package and meet a neighbor, so no harm done.
