Pioneer to the Past: The Story of James Henry Breasted, Archaeologist


Add your own review!

Overview

Pioneer to the Past tells the intensely human, often poignantly moving story of the brilliant career of James Henry Breasted, one of the greatest Egyptologists and archaeologists America has yet produced. Breasted's greatest achievement was the founding of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago in 1919, through the generous support of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The Oriental Institute embodies Breasted's vision of an inter-disciplinary research center that unites archaeology, textual studies, and art history as three complementary methodologies to provide a holistic understanding of ancient Near Eastern civilizations, and the ways that they laid the foundations for what we think of today as 'Western civilization'. Breasted's legacy continues to flourish today. This is a reprint of the Scribner's Sons 1943 edition, with new foreword and photographs.
