William Healey Dall - Field Notes, Alaska, 1895-1904

About the Project

What book does an intrepid naturalist and explorer, like William Healey Dall, read in his free time? In 1895, Dall was reading the work of biologist, botanist, and zoologist Constantine Rafinesque, who classified hundreds of new species of plants and animals in his lifetime. Find out more about Dall's day-to-day expedition routine in his notebook from 1895-1904. Dall recorded these notes while exploring Alaska with the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. Dall would later go on to become a curator at the US National Museum. Get some reading recommendations from Dall and help transcribe his notes for future scientists!
