Burroughs' The Natural History of the Lewis and Clark Expedition stands unequaled as a ready reference to the zoological work of the United States' premier western exploration. Burroughs continued the work begun by Elliott Coues in the nineteenth century and he prepared the way for a fuller account that Paul Russell Cutright accomplished in this century. Cutright's study completes the task begun by earlier naturalist-historians but in no way eclipses the pioneering efforts of Burroughs. |
