From inside the dust jacket: "Encounter with and Angry God is in one sense a token chronicle of what it meant to be an anthropologist in the early decades of the twentieth century...Even more it is an exciting and compelling love story--dealing with the curious love triangle that developed when a Chemehuevi informant--George Laird--entered the lives of [John Peabody] Harrington and the young wife he drove as ruthlessly as he did himself."
