5.0 out of 5 stars
His papers cover all of his efforts and are a key part of American history.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Papers of Joseph Henry, Vol. 11: January 1866-May 1878 (Hardcover)
The eleventh volume of this weighty college-level scholarly collection covers the years 1866 to 1878, when Henry emerged as a leader of American science and guided his creation, the Smithsonian Institution, in recovering from the Civil War. He also guided the newfound National Academy of Sciences and worked to convince his contemporary philanthropists to emulate James Smithson and fund original research. His papers reflect all of his efforts and are a key part of American history. The series has recently won the Eugene Ferguson Prize; volume twelve, a cumulative index, is forthcoming.
