From the Foreword-
"While the text includes all the relevant research in English, it is also based on publications rarely found in American bibliographies. Maria Kecskési's use of information unfamiliar to us- much of it in early travelers' reports and hard to find German ethnographies- enriches her text and distinguishes it from those recently published in this country.
