Major Allan Brooks and Louis Agassiz Fuertes have given much time and thought to their drawings and have helped me with their gen- eral knowledge of the Duck Tribe. Dr. Glover M.

Benson, who has done so much in teaching us the decorative value of water-fowl, I owe the frontispiece of this first volume.

  • Frank Michler Chapman 1864-1945
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XXV FIFTH MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF FRANK MICHLER CHAPMAN 1864-1945 BY WILLIAM KING GREGORY PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE AUTUMN MEETING, 1947 FRANK MICHLER CHAPMAN 1864-1945 BY WILLIAM KING GREGORY HEREDITY, ENVIRONMENT AND CULTURE Frank Michler Chapman was born in what is now West Engle- wood, New Jersey, on June 12, 1864. The family home was an ample country residence, with wide lawns, fine old trees and high formal gate posts. This home was set in the midst of a large and prosperous farm, in a region abounding in woods and ponds, orchards and wide fields. The region was then a veritable paradise for birds; it was also an ideal environment for a child who grew up to be a most eloquent apostle of the birds and a faunal naturalist of immense achievement. The home farm had been purchased from its Jersey Dutch owners in 1863. It was successfully run and developed under the general supervision of Frank's maternal grandfather, Chester Parkhurst. He was a retired physician whose ancestors came from Chelmsford, Essex, England. Our best sources of biographic material are Chapman's de- lightful Autobiography of a Bird Lover (1933), his Camps and Cruises of an Ornithologist (1908) and his array of books, monographs and special reports upon the birds and bird faunas of North and South America. Frank's mother, Mary Augusta (Parkhurst) Chapman was an ardent lover of flowers and a "born musician." "Always," he writes, "she had a garden and at times a small conservatory, and music was as much a part of our daily life as food." Her mother, Mary (Johnson) Parkhurst was also a "born musician." "It appears" (Autobiography) "that I have to thank .
