Bailey - Field notes, Oklahoma and New Mexico, August - November, 1906

Keeping track of things you pick up can be a challenge for some of us, and no problem for others. For Vernon Bailey, chief field naturalist with the Bureau of Biological Survey, his work involved collecting and observation expeditions across the country. His field notes were essential for keeping track of what he had seen, the specimens he had collected and settings they were in when collected. The notes in this project cover late summer and early fall of 1906, beginning near Chelsea,Oklahoma and ending near Silver City, New Mexico.
