Turner" In Seventeenth Annual Report of the United States Geological Survey to the Secretary of the Interior, 1895-96. Part I. Washington: Government Printing Office, 1894; 1896. 27.8 cm, pp. 435-496 [496: blank]; 521-762, two parts extracted and professionally bound together in brown cloth, spine panel stamped in gold. First editions. Henry Ward Turner (1857-1937), American geologist, mining engineer, member of the United States Geological Survey, 1882-1900. Two monographs extracted from annual reports of the United States Geological Survey, bound by Sierra Nevada historian Francis P. Farquhar, accompanied by a typewritten letter from Turner to Farquhar dated 11 March 1932 on Pato Mines letterhead regarding a paper on Yosemite he wants to publish, about the formation of Yosemite, "only one of a series of canyons, all formed in essentially the same way and that its unique character is due largely to the vertical sheeting of the granite. Matthes refers to this feature but does not in my opinion give it the prominence that it is entitled to." A fine copy. (#166419).
