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. A spectacular portrait of late nineteenth century / early twentieth century field geology. unknown
