About the Author:
Paul R. Cutright was born in West Virginia and received his education at Davis & Elkins College, West Virginia University, and at the University of Pittsburgh, where he obtained a Ph.D. in Zoology.
He taught forty years on the faculties of the University of Pittsburgh, Geneva College and Arcadia University, where he was head of the Department of Biology. In 1982 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters from Arcadia University in recognition of his research and writing. His extensive study of the Lewis and Clark Expedition developed into a 506-page volume Lewis and Clark: Pioneering Naturalists (1969). Many scholars consider this book one of the great contributions to the literature of the Expedition. It was followed by A History of the Lewis and Clark Journals (1976), an invaluable study of the various efforts to publish all the journals kept by members of the expedition.
Cutright's numerous articles pertaining to the Expedition have appeared in the periodicals of the Missouri, Montana and Oregon Historical Societies.
In 1974 Paul Cutright received the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation Award of Meritorius Achievement.
His residence in Jenkintown, near Philadelphia, afforded him the opportunity to study closely the institutions and people who assisted Meriwether Lewis and William Clark at the beginning and end of the first great exploration of the new nation. He died on March 10, 1988.
