Letter of the State Geologist Relative to the Progress of the State Geological Survey During the Years 1866-7 - Softcover
Synopsis
This book by J.D Whitney, while nearing its final stages of completion, began as an ambitious project approved by the state of California in 1864 to conduct a geological survey of the region. After seven years of meticulous research and exploration, this book emerges as an unprecedented account of California's geographical and geological tapestry. Beyond compiling data on mineral deposits, this extensive work goes to great lengths to categorize and describe the state's flora and fauna. It is divided into three principal sections: physical geography, general geology, and natural history, with each section broken down into its respective areas of study. It is the author's belief that if completed, this work will be an invaluable resource for the state, providing insights into the natural world that will be appreciated all the more as California continues to grow in wealth and civilization.
