1879réf. 422485Washington D.C. 1879. Very Good. Autograph Letter Signed by John Wesley Powell Director of the Bureau of Ethnology in Washington D.C. together with an accompanying photograph which he sent in 1880 to John S. Billings a surgeon and a statistician on medicine in the U.S. Army. The one page letter is written on "Smithsonian Institution Bureau of Ethnology" letterhead dated: "Ap. 27" 1880 and is addressed at the bottom to "Dr. John S. Billings Surgeon U.S.A. Army Medical Museum." Some water staining to the edges and related blurring to the manuscript text still legible and three-inch tear repaired with tape on the verso good only. The Albumen Print measures 9 ½ x 12 inches laid down on a cardboard mount 11 x 16". Contemporary manuscript caption in ink on the bottom margin of the mount: "3824 Photo. Tailed man" and on the back in French which identifies the photograph as a being from the Society of Anthropology in Berlin. Dated "Oct. 18" with "1879" inserted in pencil. Light soiling and toning to the mount with a tear to the top margin of the mount very good. The photograph of a tailed man which Powell takes "pleasure in sending" to Billings is an enlargement of the photo taken in 1879 by Surgeon-General Bernhard Ornstein chief physician of the Greek army. The original photo sent to the Berlin Anthropological Society sparked a decade-long debate about whether such protuberances were "atavistic tails" or "pathological protuberances." Powell was a celebrated naturalist and explorer who despite losing an arm in the Civil War led the first known passage through the Grand Canyon in 1869. When Congress created the Bureau of Ethnology in 1879 Powell was named its first director a post he held until his death. John Shaw Billings is best known as the modernizer of the Surgeon General's Library the nation's first comprehensive library for medicine. He also started Index Medicus a monthly guide to contemporary medicine that ran until his retirement at the Medical Museum and Library. A nice association. unknown books

To his 10-year-old son Horace written by Dr. Wing during John Wesley Powell's second expedition to explore Colorado and the West. Wing is mentioned in Wallace Stegner's Beyond the Hundredth Meridian. The letter to his son describes the plains of Nebraska with fairly detailed descriptions of fields plants birds and towns. He mentions that Powell has left ahead of him and referring to the telegraph: "When I got to Chicago Prof. Powell was gone hundreds of miles. What could I do Why I could send lightning a telegram to tell him to wait for me and I did. I sent to Denver you must look for it on the map and the lightning said he was not there. Then I sent to Cheyenne called Shyan and he was there & he told the lightning to tell me how to get passes on the R.R. and to come on." He then suggests that his young son make his own telegraph and give some instructions on how to begin. Accompanied by a nice gravure portrait of Horace Wing Jr. taken by the photographer Pratz of Los Angeles and also with some later newspapers with biographical information on Wing who became a prominent owner of orange groves around Los Angeles. A nice letter connected to an important exploration. unknown books
