  • ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and Theworld
    CHAPTER 4 — ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and the World CHAPTER 4 ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and the World Jeffrey T. Stephenson, Before the Museum Paula E. Cushing, The first collections of specimens that make up what is now the Denver John R. Demboski, and Museum of Nature & Science were actually established well before the Frank-T. Krell founding of the institution in 1900, the selection of a board of trustees, or the construction of a building to house and exhibit the specimens. Edwin Carter (1830–1900) (Fig. 4.1) collected Colorado birds and mammals from the 1860s through the 1890s. Born in New York in 1830, Carter arrived in Colorado in 1859 hoping to make it rich in the goldfields, but he soon became interested in the region’s natural history. He learned hide tanning and, as his prospects for hitting the mother lode faded, he earned his living selling buckskin clothing that he handcrafted. Carter supplemented these earnings by mar- keting foodstuffs and other provisions to the growing population of successful and (mostly) unsuccessful prospectors flooding the region. His interest in nature turned to concern as he observed dwindling numbers of mammals and birds, owing largely to habitat destruction and overhunting. Period photographs of the area’s mining district show a landscape largely denuded of vegetation. By the 1870s, Carter noted that many animal species were becoming scarce. The state’s forests were being devastated, ranches and farms were replacing open prairie, and some species, including the last native bison in Colorado, were on the verge of extirpation or extinction.

AD the atlas of an old Greek geographer approached in H any degree to the completeness and accuracy of a modern scientific atlas, we should without doubt have found the' Islands of the Blessed' placed at a very different part of the compass from that Far West, to which their local habitation was popularly assigned by the ancients. Not amidst the waters of the Atlantic, with its mighty tides and fierce tempests-though sunny Madeira offers its health-giving skies, and from over the Mare del Sargasso come spicy breezes, which deceived that grand old sailor, Cris­ toval Colon, into believing that he had well nigh circumna vigated the world-but rather in those Eastern Seas, where Nature puts man's language to shame when it tries to describe her beauty, where birds lie in brilliancy with the ruby and the emerald, where Nature scatters her choicest treasures with lavish prodi­ gality, would they have placed their earthly paradise. Some­ where amidst those islands of romance and adventure they might well have imagined the summit of earthly happiness could be attained. Any new work on these lovely regions would have been acceptable. A hearty welcome will be willingly accorded to the two very remarkable and most interesting books which we have placed at the head of this article.

  • Less-Known Biologists of Lancaster County by EUGENE R
    Less-known Biologists of Lancaster County BY EUGENE R. RIGHTMYER In the scientific spirit of this age knowledge, thoughts and ideals have attained new horizons; the quest to understand our- selves and our environment has become veritably dynamic, and the wealth of knowledge inestimable and diverse. But the sole contributors to this treasure have always remained the same— the minds of human beings. This article concerns such persons, in particular those scientists of one geographical and historic political and cultural component of Pennsylvania — Lancaster County. The English statesman and historian, Thomas Macauley, had said that the history of a country is best told in a record of the lives of its people. In conformity with this idea but in refer- ence to the natural history, the "Contributions to Biology by Lan- caster Countians," of which this article is an excerpt, had been prepared. 1 Among the contemporary Pennsylvanians of this county, there are those whose work in biology will be acknowledged here- after ; but the following pages introduce biologists native to or resident of Lancaster County, whose lives and work in pure science have been completed and should be recognized. And of these scientists only the less-known are related in length. In the latter half of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries, Lancaster County was well represented in the biological sciences by a triumvirate of Henry E. Muhlenberg, Father of American Botany ; Frederick V. Melsheimer, Father of American Entomology ; and Benjamin S. Barton, Father of Am- erican Materia Medica. To Muhlenberg and Melsheimer, both devout and scholastic Lutheran ministers of the German element, 1 The thesis, "Contributions to Biology by Lancaster Countians," written in 1950-51, can be found at the Library or Department of Biology of Franklin and Marshall College.
