Notes for William Boone Douglass
another source says b. in Corydon, Harrison, Indiana, United States
William Boone Douglass was a lawyer, engineer, surveyor, genealogist, and founding President of the Boone Family Association. He was a Boone descendant through his mother, Queen Victoria Boone. He and Mrs. Hazel Atterbury Spraker were very active in Boone research, and in the founding and operation of the Association. Earlier in his engineering career, he was active in New Mexico both as an engineer and as an anthropologist.
Below is a short account of his work in New Mexico, and a picture of him with the surveying crew.
In the early twentieth century, U.S. Surveyor William Boone Douglass recognized ... the shrine on top of Redondo Peak during his restorative cadastral survey of the Baca Location’s boundaries. In a subsequent publication of his observations of the shrine, Douglass (1917:358) reports that the Río Grande Pueblos of Jémez, Cochití, Santa Domingo, Zía, Sandia, San Ildefonso, San Juan, and Santa Clara make ritual pilgrimages to Redondo Peak. His account, therefore, stands as the first substantive statement of the traditional association of Native American peoples with the lands contained within the VCNP.
