In the mid-nineteenth century, Spencer Baird, the Smithsonian's second secretary, set out to improve knowledge of North American flora and fauna. His efforts lead to a revolution in the nature of scientific data collection. Baird sent Robert Kennicott, a young naturalist, to the wilds of the Mackenzie River in what is now northwest Canada. One of Kennicott's most important innovations was recruiting fur traders and native peoples as collectors. Includes b&w photos. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
