Less recognized, however, is the competitive environment within the Southwest itself regarding this endeavor. Virginia McClurg, leader of the Colorado Cliff Dwellers Association, had her own ideas about the value of preservation and was a forceful advocate on behalf of her organization. The relationship between Hewett and McClurg reflected politics, gender relations, and institutional rivalries—a dynamic that still shapes the preservation movement today.James E. Snead is Professor of Anthropology and Curator at California State University, Northridge. Raised in Santa Fe, he has conducted archaeology in the region since the 1990s. Snead is the author of Ruins and Rivals (2001) and Relic Hunters: Archaeology and the Public in 19th Century America (2018). His current research focuses on the role of women in Southwestern archaeology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Photo credit: Hewett, E. L. (n.d.). Edgar L.
