Beverley was a scion of Virginia's planter elite at odds with royal governors in the colony. As a native-born Americanmost famously claiming "I am an Indian"he provided English readers with the first thoroughgoing account of the province's past natural history Indians and current politics and society.

FIRST EDITION AND A POPULAR ACCOUNT OF THE IMPORTANT BABYLONIAN EXPEDITION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. The author was the only English member of the American expedition giving him a unique perspective on its intentions and discoveries. BY NILE AND EUPHRATES is not a typical expedition log; it is an account of life in an excavator's camp the journey to camp and the people encountered along the way. As British member of Petrie's archeological expedition to Egypt and Mesopotamia Geere was present during the important excavations at Nippur. Nippur was situated on both sides of the ancient bed of the Shatt-en-Nil canal one of the earliest courses of the Euphrates between the present bed of that river and the Tigris almost 160 km southeast of Baghdad. The canal bed divides the site into an East Mound and West Mound. It is represented by the great complex of ruin mounds known to the Arabs as Nuffar written by the earlier explorers Niffer and later as Nippur. Nippur was first excavated briefly by Sir Austen Henry Layard in 1851. But full-scale digging was begun by the expedition from the University of Pennsylvania. The work involved four seasons of excavation between 1889 and 1900 and was led by John Punnett Peters John Henry Haynes and Hermann Volrath Hilprecht all of whom were known to and cited by Geere. Thousands of tablets were found at a smaller mound dubbed "tablet hill" about 7.5 meters in average height and 52 square meters in area southeast of the temple mound.A true arch one of the world's earliest examples was also found. In the Parthian layer a box containing fragments of votive axes made of glass from the Kassite period were found. Several late Kassite rulers are represented including Kurigalzu II. T. & T.
