“The nine historical essays in this little volume edited by James X. Corgan have done much to rectify this lacuna [in knowledge about early geologists in the United States] by mapping out the history of geological inquiry in the southeast, as well as defining areas of fruitful scholarship and terrae incognitae.” Florida Historical Quarterly
“[The Geological Sciences in the Antebellum South] will be a useful book for those specially interested in the history of the Antebellum South. Geological Journal
Geological Sciences in the Antebellum South offers nine essays that provide detailed information about the early geological exploration of the southeastern United Stares. Originally presented under the aegis of the Geological Society of America, these essays cover observations and studies made between 1796 and the 1850s.
