Pioneer Naturalist on the Plains: The Diary of Elam Bartholomew, 18711934,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Plains pioneer Elam Bartholomew grew up in Illinois and at the age of 21, in 1874, traveled to the hostile and barren frontier of western Kansas. Every day, from 1871 to 1934, he wrote in his diary over 22,000 entries on some 5,600 pages.Elam Bartholomew is...the ideal settler interested in recreating cultural and community organizations that existed in the East but also an extraordinary Kansan because of his activities as a naturalist. Patricia A. Michaelis, Kansas State Historical Society Bartholomew became a farmer and horticulturist, active in Kansas politics, local government, and church, "a scientist in the making" as he set his roots in western Kansas. He became a successful farmer because he had a keen sense of Nature's limitations...and he knew how to adapt to them.Elam developed a passion for things botanical and took on the challenge of collecting and identifying specimens of fungus growth, in his dedication to finding controls of organisms that cause disease. His many thousands of specimens, collected and identified from 70 to 110 years ago, from 48 states, are in the herbaria of numerous institutions in the U.S. and abroad, and are still useful in research.But it is Elam's "common man" approach to his observations of life in the late 1800s that piques our interest the way things were in the last 30 years of the 19th century and the first 34 years of the 20th.
