Bailey - Field notes, Michigan and the Northwest United States, 1894 and 1895

The work of Bureau of Biological Survey field agent Vernon Orlando Bailey (1864–1942) took him all over the United States, often to the Northwest or Southwest. In 1984 and 1895, Bailey's work took him to Michigan and the Northwest. In this field book, this Chief Field Naturalist of the United States Department of Agriculture describes the observation of animal tracks and the collection of specimens throughout Montana, Michigan, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon from September 1894 through September 1895. You will find lists of mammalian, ornithological and botanical scientific names organized by date and place name and includes drawings relating to animal behavior. The back of the notebook contains a list of addresses. We invite you to join other volunteers transcribing this material to help make it more accessible to future researchers and scholars.
