Autobiography - Publications Societies of Which He Was Member

In 1873 I was appointed State Geologist and organized & conducted the survey for two years, during which much valuable work was accomplished & the results reported to the Governor.
Ever since my first landing in Wisconsin I have given more or less attention to its geology, improving every opportunity to examine the stone-quarries, rock cliffs, &c.; and have furnished several papers upon the subject. In 1855 and again in 1869, I published Geological Maps of the State.

Observations made and published by me relating to the physical features, geology, mineralogy, botany, antiquities, natural history &c., of Wisconsin have been extensively quoted by authors both in this country and in Europe, and have thus materially aided in making the state known among intelligent people everywhere.
