Cosmos Mindeleff (1863–1938) started his career as assistant to his brother Victor Mindeleff, who was employed by the Bureau of American Ethnology to conduct studies of Pueblo architecture in the 1880s.  His study of the indigenous cultures of the Verde Valley was published in 1896. After his Verde Valley study, Cosmos left the Bureau of Ethnology and became a newspaper reporter, working for the New York World, the New York American, and the New York Sun, for whom he traveled extensively, living in Paris, London, and Florence, Italy, and serving as the foreign editor.
