Two photo books with forty-four photographs extremely well identified with detailed captions containing the geological characteristics of the wide variety of locations and with the numbers of Gilbert's negatives clearly listed. It could be that these images appeared or were intended to appear in USGS publications.<br /> <br /> The Geological Society of America GSA was founded in 1888. It is a global scientific society with members from academia government and industry in over one hundred countries. The aim of the GSA is to support the professional growth of geoscientists and encourage cooperative research among earth life planetary and social scientists foster public dialogue on geoscience issues and promote the geosciences in the service of humankind.<br /> <br /> James Furman Kemp 1859-1926 was mostly known for his work in igneous petrology and on the origin of ore deposits. He served as the President of the Geological Society of America in 1921. Charles Doolittle Walcott 1850-1927 was the third director of the U.S. Geological Survey the fourth Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and a contributor to the "Bulletin of the Geological Society of America."<br /> <br /> The lion's share of the photographs are reproduced from the negatives of U.S. explorer geographer and geologist Grove Karl Gilbert 1843-1918 whose life spanned an age of heroic geology and who was one of the founders of modern geomorphology the study of landforms. He helped launch the U.S. Geological Survey USGS and was its chief geologist under the famed explorer and second USGS director John Wesley Powell. In addition Gilbert was a founding member of the National Geographic Society as well as president twice of the Geological Society of America. Gilbert was first exposed to the American West when he participated in the Wheeler Survey one of the four great surveys of the American West headed by George Wheeler Clarence King Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden and Powell. Gilbert's monumental works were "Report on the Geology of the Henry Mountains" 1877 and "Lake Bonneville - Department of the Interior Monographs of the United States Geological Survey Volume 1" 1890. He is credited with naming ancient Lake Bonneville whose raised shorelines he used to demonstrate crustal isostasy.<br /> <br /> "Gilbert had a knack for harnessing the geography of the land in the cause of something greater: extraction of knowledge about the processes at work." - R. S. Anderson https://eos.org/features/reflections-on-the-legacy-of-grove-karl-gilbert-1843-1918.<br /> <br /> A collection featuring the investigative research of three prominent U.S. geologists who were the top field geologists of their time.

18839696Staunton VA: Printed by S. M. Yost & Son for Jed Hotchkiss 1883. Hard Cover. Good binding. Quarto. xi 1 196 192; 6 196; 1 iii 196 pp. maps illus. First edition. Volume 1 & 2 bound together in library buckram; Volume 3 in marbled boards with modern bonded leather spine and corners; Volume 4 in library buckram. Volume II is lacking volume title page and index. All volumes trimmed some closer than others. Ex-library with typical markings; bindings are a trifle worn but sturdy; contents are a bit brittle with some closed tears to the folds of the maps a couple of maps have cleanly separated along those tears; occasional early tape repairs to a few leaves and a few maps. Rogers’s geological map is quite crisp and bright. Relatively well-preserved volumes from this landmark publication. <br /> <br /> An important periodical that ran from 1880 through Volume VI 1885 before being merged into the Industrial South. Jedediah Hotchkiss the editor and publisher is perhaps most remembered as the staff officer of Stonewall Jackson and employed his topographical and cartographical skills to the great benefit of Jackson during the Civil War. After the war Hotchkiss established himself in Staunton VA as a consulting engineer and geologist among other endeavors eventually editing and publishing this present periodical. Given the wealth of information related to natural resources it's easy to imagine that these efforts brought significant funding into the commonwealth at a time it was greatly needed. <br /> <br /> While there are contributions by most significant geologists of the day as well as maps and sections by Hotchkiss J. Peter Lesley James P. Kimball R. O. Currey John L. Campell and others. But certainly the most notable inclusions is William Barton Rogers’s 1841 geological map of Virginia. This first systematic geological survey of Virginia began in 1835 when Rogers a recognized expert was engaged by the Virginia General Assembly to undertake the task. The manuscript of the map was largely complete when funding for the project was cut off in 1841. This map languished for decades until a version of it Marcou 592 was published in Virginia: A Geographical and Political Summary. Hotchkiss a friend and colleague of Rogers further added to the map and issued it in Vol. I No. 6 of The Virginias 1880. Of this map E. M. Sanchez-Saavedra writes: "The geological map of Virginia is modest in appearance but it contains more information than first meets the eye. Its topography was based on the 1827 Boye nine-sheet map altered to emphasize natural drainage and erosion patterns. The large patches of color representing different formations were the result of Rogers's years in the field—digging climbing and analyzing rock strata." Finally noting that this color coding seems to have been of Roger's invention it would be employed to some degree in subsequent years by John Wesley Powell as he embarked on his ambitious undertaking to map the entirety of the country. This map remains an important piece of Virginia geologic and cartographic history. Sanchez-Saavedra A Description of the Country: Virginia's Cartographers and Their Maps 1607-1881. pp. 103-118.
