Description
Summary:F871 .O47 9 From: Oregon Historical Quarterly, Vol 5, 1904, p.215-222.; "Reprinted from "The Companion to the Botanical Magazine," Volume II, London, 1836. "Several of the following numbers of the Quarterly will be taken up largely with the publication of the journals of two scientists, David Douglas and Dr. John Scouler. These men rendered the different branches of natural history conspicuous services through explorations conducted in the " Oregon Country." Dr. Scouler came as surgeon to the Hudson Bay Company's vessel, the William and Anne, and gave his attention mainly to the fauna of the Pacific Northwest during the year 1825. Mr. Douglas came at the same time and continued his work in this region mainly as collector of plants with intense, one might almost say desperate, zeal during the major part of the time from 1825 to 1833."
