Book Description
The findings at archaeological sites in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia are examined by Schackel (U. Maryland, College Park) to demonstrate how interest groups created an idyllic past to present to the visiting public. The shorter (52 pages) of two sections describes Harpers Ferry during the Civil War. Section two, on rebuilding Harpers Ferry after the war, examines issues of race, tourism, economic conditions, the brewery industry, the boardinghouse community, and the creation of memory by Victorian citizens. Although the lives of wealthy residents are chronicled, Shackel uses special care to recreate the history of the poor, who left less evidence for the archaeologist to interpret.

Book Description
By most estimates, as much as 90 percent of the archaeology done in the United States today is carried out in the field of cultural resource management. The contributors hope that this book will serve as an impetus in American archaeology for dialogue and debate on how to make CRM projects and programs yield both better archaeology and better public policy.
