Bailey - Field notes, Washington, D.C. and New Mexico - 1940
About the Project
In the summer of 1940, 75-year old Vernon Orlando Bailey returned to New Mexico to his observations of the wildlife in the Southwest that had been a focus of his decades long career as Chief Field Naturalist for the United States Department of Agriculture. The Zuni Mountains there form part of the Continental Divide, and its wildlife provided opportunities to perfect the animal traps Bailey had designed to leave captured animals unhurt. This personal field book also includes notes from the spring of 1940 when Bailey was in Washington, DC, and notes about lectures and meetings he attended during this period. Join up with other volunteers to transcribe another one of this naturalist's field journals.
