Parezo and Fowler bring to light the important contributions Theresa made to the bourgeoning field of archaeology, and they offer never-before-published information on her life after Frank's death and her subsequent career as a professor of English literature and philosophy at Stanford University. The book also includes Theresa's 1906 In Pursuit of a Graveyard: Being the Trail of an Archaeological Wedding Journey, a twelve part serial in Out West Magazine.
