Otto William Geist (1888 - 1963), a.k.a. Aghvook, was an archaeologist, explorer and naturalist who worked in the circumpolar north and for the University of Alaska for much of his adult life. He was befriended by Olaus and Margaret Murie, who helped mentor him on scientific techniques for collecting and preserving archaeological and biological specimens, including field taxidermy. n 1957, Geist received an honorary doctorate from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Anthropological Association, and the Arctic Institute of North America. The building housing the university's museum was named after him. Mount Geist (10,716 ft), in the Alaska Range was also named for him. Froelich Gladstone Rainey (1907 - 1992) was an American anthropologist and Director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology from 1947 to 1977. In 1975, in recognition of his role at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where he had served as the university's first professor of anthropology from 1935 to 1942, Rainey's Cabin on the campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Arnold M. Nordale (1896-1976) to whom the book is inscribed was a mining engineer in Alaska who invented drills to be used in mining. He was also involved in gold mining in the Yukon. Just an amazing collection of information and illustrations about the Kukulik excavations by two important and well-known scholars. Inscribed by Author(s).
