Mummies in nineteenth century America : ancient Egyptians as artifacts /

Collected newspaper accounts and other documents reveal the progression of American interest in mummies. Numerous mummies are identified, and commentary on mummy coffins and discussion of methods of public exhibition are included" -- Provided by publisher.
