Gibbs (G.) — Continued. 



George Gibbs, the son of Col. Geo. Gibl>s, was 

 born on the 17th of July, 1815,at Suiiswick, Long 

 Island, near the village of Hallctt'a Cove, now 

 known as Astoria. It was the intention of the 

 father to give his son a West Point education 

 and to lit him for an .army career. As a pro 

 liminaiy step he was sent to the Round Hill 

 School, at Northampton, Mass., then kept l)y 

 Mr. George Bancroft, the historian, and Mr. 

 Cogswell, the late learned and distinguished 

 superintendent of the Astor Library. At 

 seventeen, it having been found impossible to 

 secure for the youth an appointment to the 

 Military Academy, ho was taken to Europe, 

 where lie remained two years enjoying the ad- 

 vantage of foreign travel, observation, and 

 study. On his return from Europe ho com- 

 menced the reading of law, and in 1838 took 

 his degree of bachelor of law at Harvard ITni- 

 versity. 



In 1848 Mr. Gibbs went overland from 

 Saint Louis to Oregon, and established him- 

 self at ( "olumbia. In 1851 he received the a])- 

 poiutmeut of collector of the port of Astoria, 

 which he held during Mr. Fillmore's administ r.i- 

 tion. Later he removed from Oregon to W.ash- 

 iugton Territory, and settled upon a, I'anch a 

 fe\v miles from Fort Steilacoom. Hero he had 

 his headquarters for several ye.ars, devoting 

 himself to the study of the Indian Liiiguages, 

 and to the collection of vocabularies and tra- 

 ditions of the northwestern tribes. During a 

 great jiart of the time he was attached to the 

 United States Govei'umeut Commission in Lay- 

 ing the boundary, as the geologi.st or botanist 

 of the expedition. He was also attached as 

 geologist to the survey of a railroad route to 

 the Pacific, under Major Stevens. In 1857 ho 

 was appointed to the northwest boundary sur- 

 vey, under Mr. Archibald Campbell, as com- 

 missioner. 



In 18C0 Mr. Gibbs returned to Now York, 

 and in 1861 was on duty in "Washington in 

 guarding the Capitol. 



Later he resided in Washington, being 

 mainly employed in the Hudson Bay Claims 

 Commission, to which he was secretary. He 

 was also eng.aged in the .arrangement of a large 

 mass of manuscript bearing upon tlie ethnol- 

 ogy and philology of the American Indi.ans. 

 His services were .availed of by tlio Smithson 

 ian Institution to superintend its labors in this 

 field, and to his energy and complete knowledge 

 of the subject it greatly owes its success in 

 this branch of the service. The valu.able and 

 laborious service which ho rendered to the In- 

 stitution was entirely gratuitous, and in his 

 death that establishment as well as the cause 

 of science lost an ardent friend and import.ant 

 contributor to its advancement. 



Ill 1871 Mr. Gibbs m.arried his cousin. Miss 

 Mary K. Gibbs, of Newport, R. I., and removed 

 to New H.aven, where he died on the 9th of 

 April, 1873.
