Lummis was a native New-Englander and a graduate of Harvard. Some fifty years ago he walked to California, lived for years in an Indian Pueblo, rode the Southwest from side to side and explored it with a keen and understanding heart. He founded The Landmarks Club, the Southwest Museum, and the Sequoya League, and was knighted by the King of Spain for his researches in Spanish-American history. Americanist, author, and explorer, his contribution to the Southwest has been significant.
