 | | Mooney, James (10 Feb. 1861-22 Dec. 1921), anthropologist, was born in Richmond, Indiana, the son of James Mooney and Ellen Devlin, Irish immigrants. |
 | | Mooney's "The Ghost Dance Religion and the Sioux Outbreak of 1890" (Fourteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, part 2 [1896]), is generally considered his greatest work and has earned him an enduring reputation among anthropologists and historians. |
 | | Two biographies of Mooney exist, one by William Munn Colby, "Routes to Rainey Mountain: A Biography of James Mooney, Ethnologist" (Ph.D. diss., Univ. of Wisconsin, 1977), and L. Moses, The Indian Man: A Biography of James Mooney (1984). |
