Alexander Wetmore - Photo Album, Panama, 1959, Vol. 1

Did you know that explorers traveled across the Las Cruces Trail as far back as the 1500s? Hundreds of years later, the trail was traveled by someone else--ornithologist Alexander Wetmore. Former Smithsonian Secretary Wetmore traveled the heavily forested Las Cruces Trail in 1959, during his annual expedition to conduct research for his book, "Birds of the Republic of Panama." Get an up close look at Wetmore's trip on the Las Cruces Trail and help transcribe the image captions in this incredible album!
