Today I attended a zoom session pu
t on by the Bell Museum featuring a new book by Sue Leaf called Minnesota's Geologist. I have heard Sue Leaf speak a couple of times before and I have read all of her books except this one. She gave a synopsis of the life of Newton Horace Winnchell. He was hired by the state of Minnesota to do a geologic and biologic survey of the entire state plus start a natural history museum. He traveled the state on foot, on horseback, by sailboat band by birchbark canoe to complete the survey. He must have been a workaholic because he also started and edited American Geologist, a professional journal for geologists.After listening to this zoom session I am very interested in reading this book someday.
