John Wesley Powell March 24 1834 - September 23 1902 was a geologist soldier explorer of the West professor and director of major scientific and cultural institutions. He is famous for his 1869 geographic expedition a three-month river trip down the Green and Colorado rivers including the first official U.S. government- sponsored passage through the Grand Canyon. Powell served as second director of the U.S. Geological Survey 1881-1894 and proposed policies that were prescient for his accurate evaluation of conditions. He became the first director of the Bureau of Ethnology at the Smithsonian Institution while serving as director of the U.S. Geological Survey where he supported linguistic and sociological research and publications. During the Civil War he enlisted in the Union Army as a cartographer topographer and military engineer. At the Battle of Shiloh he lost most of his right arm when struck by a Minié ball while in the process of giving the order to fire. Despite the loss of an arm he returned to the Army and was at the battles of Champion Hill Big Black River Bridge and the siege of Vicksburg. Powell was the director of the Bureau of Ethnology from 1879 until his death. Under his leadership the Smithsonian published an influential classification of North American Indian languages This report discussed the field work of Professor Cyrus Thomas on Mound Explorations as well as other field work in the area of stone villages. There is also a discussion of Synonymy of Indian Tribes. This report contains three Accompanying Papers: Indian linguistic families of America north of Mexico by J.W. Powell -- The Mide'wiwin or "Grand Medicine Society" of the Ojibwa By Dr. W. J. Hoffman and The Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees by Mr. James Mooney. James Mooney February 10 1861 - December 22 1921 was an American ethnographer who lived for several years among the Cherokee. Known as "The Indian Man" he conducted major studies of Southeastern Indians as well as of tribes on the Great Plains. His most notable works were his ethnographic studies of the Ghost Dance after Sitting Bull's death in 1890 which was a widespread 19th-century religious movement among various Native American culture groups; and his works on the Cherokee: The Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees 1891 and Myths of the Cherokee 1900. All were published by the US Bureau of American Ethnology within the Smithsonian Institution. Cyrus Thomas July 27 1825 - June 26 1910 was a U.S. ethnologist and entomologist prominent in the late 19th century and noted for his studies of the natural history of the American West. Thomas is best known for his work in archaeology and ethnology—specifically his contributions to the question of the origin of the mound builders. Government Printing Office hardcover
