VOL. IX. JANUARY, 1915. No. 2. GARLAND CARR BROADHEAD. Garland Can* Broadhead was born October 30, 1827, near Charlottesville, Albermarle County, Virginia. His father, Achilles Broadhead, emigrated to Missouri in 1836, and settled at Flint Hill, St. Charles County. Educated at home and in private schools, his fondness for the natural sciences, history and mathematics, early in life shaped his sphere of labor. He entered the University of Missouri in 1850, a pro­ ficient scholar in History, Latin and Mathematics. With the close of the school year of 1850-51 he shifted to the Western Military Academy of Kentucky, where he continued his studies in Geology, Mathematics and Engineering under the able guidance of Richard Owen, Professor of Geology and Chemistry, and General Bushrod R. Johnson and Colonel Williamson, they then occupying the chairs of Mathematics and Engineering in the Academy. Early in the year 1852 he accepted a position with the Missouri Pacific Railroad as surveyor on their lines, then being projected in western Missouri. In May, 1853, he was made Assistant Engineer in charge of location of lines, which position he held until 1855, when, on account of ill health, he had to give up his work as a builder of railroads. With the beginning of the year 1857, he was again with the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company as resident Engineer of Construc­ tion, located at Hermann, Missouri. (57) 58 MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW During the year 1857 he was chosen by Professor Swallow, then State Geologist, to assist in making a Geological Recon­ naissance along the line of the Southwest branch of the Pacific Railroad, and as Assistant State Geologist he continued with Professor Swallow until 1861, when the Civil War put a stop to the activities of the survey. In 1862 he was commissioned Assistant Adjutant General on the staff of General J. B. Henderson. During the same year he was appointed Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue for the First District of Missouri, where he continued until the close of 1864, when he again returned to the employ of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company as Assistant Engineer in charge of Construction on the road then building between Kingsville and Lee's Summit. In this capacity he con­ tinued until near the close of 1866, when he was appointed by President Andrew Johnson, Assessor of Internal Revenue for the Fifth District of Missouri. Under this appointment he served until 1868, when he was commissioned Assistant Geologist on the Illinois Geological Survey. After two years work on the Illinois Survey he submitted reports on seven counties, which were published in Volume 6, 1875, and the economic portions republished in ''Economical Geology of Illinois," Volume 3, 1882. This task completed, he returned to his work as a railroad builder, and during the period of 1870-1871 he was engaged as Engineer in Charge of Construction in western Missouri. During the month of October, 1871, he was again called to become Assistant State Geologist of Missouri. As Assist­ ant State Geologist he continued with the Survey until June, 1873, when, with the resignation of State Geologist Raphael Pumpelly, he was elected as head of the Survey. With the termination of his commission, May, 1875, the remaining months of the year were spent in assembling a collection of Missouri minerals for the State, and Smithsonian Institution, for their exhibits at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, and during the Exposition he was one of the twenty Jurors, foreign and American, who were charged with making awards, for the division of Mines and Geology. GARLAND CARR BROADHEAD 59 In 1879 Professor Broadhead again turned his attention to railroad work, and was employed in surveys and con­ struction in western Missouri and Kansas. During the year 1881 he acted as Special Agent of the Census Bureau, in­ vestigating the building stones of Missouri. During the years 1883-1884 Professor Broadhead was employed as a special assistant in the Department of Geology in the State University, classifying and arranging collections. In 1884 he received the appointment as member of the Mis­ souri River Commission. In 1887 he was elected by the Board of Curators, Professor of Geology in the University of Missouri, where he labored for ten years. At the time of his resignation in 1897, he was made Professor Emeritus in Geology. With the reorganization of the Geological Survey, August, 1885, Governor Francis appointed Professor Broad­ head member of the Board of Managers, and during the period of 1889-1893 Professor Broadhead worked zealously in the interest of the survey. In 1858 Professor Broadhead was elected corresponding member of the Academy of Science of Saint Louis; in 1879 a Fellow of the American Association. He was a charter member of the Geological Society of America, being one of the ninety-eight who had complied with all the requirements of the "Provisional Constitution'' of 1888. In the field of Geology Professor Broadhead was best known by his work on the Pennsylvanian, and we feel safe in asserting that his work on the stratigraphy of the Missouri Coal Measures is more nearly in accord with fact than any contempory work. When in the field he observed not the geology alone, but his eye caught every object of natural history in the region he was studying; the animals were noted, plants were catalogued, size and growth of the trees given, general surface and typo­ graphic features discussed, and through this method of note writing, his note-books were, to the geologist, botanist and zoological student, a mine of valuable data. He was intimately acquainted with the early history of the State, and his knowledge of events, distinguished men, historic spots, local and state politics was remarkable. During 60 MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW the last years of his life, while not actively engaged in re­ search, his interest in his favorite studies was keen to the last, and his memory of places and events as vivid as ever. After a short illness, Professor Broadhead died at his home in Colum­ bia, December 15, 1912. BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PUBLICATIONS BY PROFESSOR G. C. BROADHEAD.

    Guidebook for Field Trips for the Thirty-Fifth Annual Meeting of the North-Central Section of the Geological Society of America April 23-24, 2001 David Malone, Editor ISGS Guidebook 33 2001 George H. Ryan, Governor Department of Natural Resources ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY William W. Shilts, Chief EDITOR'S MESSAGE Greetings from the Executive Committee of the North Central Section of the Geological Society of America! As geologists, we all recognize the great importance of field experiences. This year's meeting includes a diverse and excellent set of field trips. Collectively, this year's field trips visit a broad spectrum of the geologic features of Illinois and Missouri that range in age from Precambrian to Quaternary. These trips present a number of new ideas and interpretations that will broaden the perspectives of all field trip participants. Your participation, interaction, and exchange of ideas with the field trip leaders are encouraged at all times These trips are the culmination of the time and energy freely given by a number of individuals. I would like to thank and recognize the field trip leaders for their hard work in planning the field trips and preparing the individual field guides. I would also like to thank the technical reviewers at Illinois State University and the Illinois State Geological Survey for their efforts. I appreciate the efforts of Jon Goodwin and the publication staff at the Illinois State Geological Survey for their substantial work in preparing this field guide. A special thanks goes out to the property owners who have been most helpful in planning these trips.

Consider Blue Spring and Alley Spring feed the Jacks Fork. Hurricane Creek, the losing stream with a Put in below at Akers, below Welch Spring, where topographic watershed of 116 square miles. Yes, it’s it is the sixth largest spring in the state and turns the a tributary to the Eleven Point River, but only its last Current from a lazy Ozark stream into a first-class mile carries surface water to the river. The rest seeps float. Don’t forget the Eleven Point, the Wild and into a subterranean system that carries water under Scenic River that flows through Mark Twain National the drainage divide between the Eleven Point and the Current to deliver water to Big Spring. The same holds true for Logan Creek, a losing stream that is a tributary to the Black River. Rain falls on Logan Creek, spills into the subterranean system, crosses under the surface divide between the Black and the Current, and delivers water to Blue Spring. Alley Spring draws from an amazing system of sinkholes and losing streams, including Spring Valley Creek, which becomes a tributary of the Current, once it passes through Round Spring.

The letter, four years after F1, contains a high level of detail, suggesting it was written from notes rather than from memory as she states. Moreover, Flint (Flint, 1826, Recollections…) describes her as cultured and educated like her mother Dinah Grey (Martin). 2. Lesieur, Godfrey (Map, 1836). "Lesieur’s Map" from Linn (1836) in Wetmore (1837) • No. 2 on the Compendium’s Ten Most Wanted. It refers to the map of the Bootheel/sunklands region prepared by Lesieur for Senator Lewis Linn for his report to the Committee on Commerce, 1 Feb 1836. Reference to the map is found in Linn (1836), reprinted in Wetmore (1837). This is probably the only map that could authoritatively show the St. Francis-Little River drainage basins and drainage pattern prior to 1811. 3. Speed, Mathias[Matthias] (2 March 1812). "From the Bairdstown (Kentucky) Repository" • No. 3 on the Compendium’s Ten Most Wanted. This is the original publication of Matthais (or Mathais) Speed’s famous letter recounting his flatboat passage from Island No. 9 to New Madrid on the morning of 7 Feb 1812.
