Letter from William Dinwiddie to Gardiner G. Hubbard

Letter from William Dinwiddie to Gardiner G. Hubbard

William Dinwiddie presents to Gardiner G. Hubbard a formal statement accusing ethnologist Frank H. Cushing of fraud. Dinwiddie attests that Cushing painted a shell found on an 1895 expedition to the Florida Keys and has been passing off the artifact as genuine. He further claims that Cushing did the same with an artifact from an expedition in Arizona. Dinwiddie states that when he attempted to report the fraud to the Bureau of American Ethnology, the Bureau refused to investigate and summarily dismissed him from his position.
