Book Review

Ferdinand V. Hayden: Entrepreneur of Science. By James G. Cassidy. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2000. xxv + 389 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. £37.00, UK; $55.00, US.)

Building on recent analyses, from Jesse Howell, Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences, 49 (July, 1959), 220–24, to Richard Bartlett, North American Exploration, Vol. 3, "A Continent Comprehended," ed. John Allen Logan, (Lincoln, 1997) 461–520, James Cassidy's volume expands our understanding of Hayden (1828–1887) and his U. S. Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories (field work, 1867–1878; monographs, 1873–1890). In an introduction and ten chapters, Cassidy thematically assesses earlier geological surveys, Hayden's antebellum years, the origin, growth, staff, management, operations, products, and influence of Hayden's postbellum organization, his failures in 1879 to save his own survey or to become director of the new U. S. Geological Survey (USGS), and his sunset years. . . .
