Thomas Say: New World Naturalist

Very good hardcover with very good dust jacket.

From Publisher:

Explorer, pioneering natural scientist, and a founder of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, Thomas Say (1787-1834) devoted his life to establishing the authority of American scientists to name and describe native flora and fauna (until then, specimens were sent to Europe for that purpose). He was the first to name and describe for science the coyote, the plains gray wolf, and the swift fox, in addition to several western birds and many amphibians, and he ranks as one of the great naturalists of early America.
