Bailey - Field notes, Nevada and California, April 16-October 16, 1898

About the Project

What might you find in Rabbit Hole Basin, Nevada? Quite a lot if you are Vernon Bailey, chief field naturalist for the United States Department of Agriculture, in 1898. From late spring through early fall, Bailey worked his way through Nevada and California, recording his field observations and collected specimens in a journal about the size of a smartphone. The notebook lists the scientific names of the animals, birds and plants he came across by date and place name. Some descriptions of animal behavior and location are also recorded. Join us in transcribing another challenging Bailey field book and help us make these important documents more accessible to scholars and researchers.
