Description

Ingersoll (1852-1946) was an American naturalist, writer and explorer. He studied at Oberlin College and later at Harvard where he was a pupil of Louis Agassiz. He made his journalistic debut in January 1874 with an article for the New York Tribune on Agassiz's work following his death the previous year. Ingersoll travelled West as zoologist in the Hayden survey of 1874 and in 1875 published a scientific paper describing what he had collected. On the expedition he had befriended photographer William Henry Jackson and they were the first scientists to investigate the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings. As a result of sending dispatches to the Tribune, Ingersoll was offered a staff position and while working as a reporter he also contributed articles to various magazines. In 1877 he made a second trip West, again publishing articles on his experiences, and in 1879 he visited Colorado writing on mining operations. That year also saw him start work on a project concerning shellfisheries which lasted until 1881. He was an early advocate of protection of wildlife and natural habitats, preferring taking field notes and photographs rather than specimens, and presented these views in a series of popular lectures around 1888. From the 1890s to 1905 he worked on updating guide books for Rand McNally, taking up residence in New York City in 1900. At that time he was writng a weekly column for a Montreal paper and by popular demand produced a series of articles on Canadian birds with descriptions, and later on snakes which his daughter helped write and illustrate. This work was first published in 1923.
