Bob, why were there never as many archeologists in the Denver Service Center?

Also, they seem to have played a different role than historians. Bob: I suppose part of it is the parochialism of archeology. But the Denver Service Center did have archeologists.

In my time I don't remember anyone other than Will Logan. Will did play principally a management and planning role similar to what I have been saying the historians should have played. I think the explanation is to be found in the rise, contemporaneously, of the archeological centers.

Archeological research and the related professional services to management came out of the archeological centers. I always felt strongly that the park planning services ought to come from archeologists in the Denver Service Center, but that was a hard case to make when archeological centers already existed. They existed because this got to be a political thing with Hartzog.

He saw political advantages in having archeological centers tied in with universities. This was a Connally ideal also. I think he may have sold it to ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
