Overview

Excerpt from Missouri Geological Survey, Vol. 12: Reports on Areal Geology The data from which the reports on these areas have been written accumulated, the greater part of it at least, during the progress of the topographic survey. Part of this material was put in order and a preliminary draft of the roports on the Huntsville. Richmond and Clinton quadrangles was made in the winter of 1892-93 but it was shown to be necessary that a little more field work be done in order to clear up a few doubtful points. From the time the party took the field in the spring of 1893 until June, 1894, nothing further was done with these reports and this was the condition they were in when Dr. Keyes was elected State Geologist in May, 1894. At the time Keyes was elected to that position, the Board of Managers entered into a contract with the writer to complete the field work on these areas and prepare the reports. The field work was done in the summer of 1894 and the reports were written during the latter part of that year. At various' times during 1895 these manuscripts were revised and slight changes made in the order of treatment at the suggestion of the State Geologist. In the latter part of 1896 the report on the Calhoun sheet was printed and that on the Clinton sheet, in the early part of 1897. In May, 1897, the maps were sent to the engraver but before the work had pro greened very far Mr. John A. Gallaher became State Geologist. Immediately afterward the editing of the report was placed in the hands of the writer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
