Exploration and Survey of the Valley of the Great Salt Lake of Utah (Classic Reprint): Including a Reconnoissance of a New Route Through the Rocky Mountains

Excerpt from Exploration and Survey of the Valley of the Great Salt Lake of Utah: Including a Reconnoissance of a New Route Through the Rocky Mountains

Loring, for the purpose; but who, before its completion, was required to rejoin his regiment, for service on the Pacific coast.

In the Department of Natural Science, from my very limited time, I was not successful in securing the services of a competent assistant. Yet, although as much has not been accomplished as I had anticipated, it is hoped that some additional light has been thrown upon the Geological formation and Natural History of these almost unknown regions. The papers of Professors Baird, Haldeman, Torrey, and Hall, together with the analyses of Dr. Gale, will not be without interest to the lovers of science. To these gentlemen, and to Messrs. Girard Peale, I am much indebted for the labours which, from a regard to the general interests of science, they have bestowed toward rendering the present report more complete and satis factory.
