His expeditions of 1869 and 1871 charted the river and gathered topographical, geological and anthropological data on the area. His writings of the expeditions were influential in the formation of the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Ethnology.Date Original1981Date Range1980s (1980-1989)TypeStill ImageOriginal FormatDrawings (visual works)Contributing InstitutionArizona Capitol MuseumCollectionChris-Town Shopping Center - 24 Arizona Heritage PortraitsRights StatementIN COPYRIGHT
