Book Description
Presents a synopsis of the life and times of a little-known but respected 19th century scientist from Albany, NY. Diverse in various fields of natural history, James Eights explored extensively in New York and participated in forays ranging from Antarctica to Chile, Panama, Mexico, and possibly the American Southwest. Many of the biological and geological specimens he collected were donated to the State Museum. By gathering information from a myriad of sources, author Daniel McKinley brings to life Eights' professional career and emphasizes the theory that Eights' contributions to science have been underestimated and misunderstood.
