 things that it does, and how that came about.

 not in the Museum building, for he surely would have 

 been a source of good stories. Between his history and 

 the book by Sterling, one gets a fairly good notion of 

 the difficult life of a federal scientist before World 

 War I. It might be noted, in these days of advanced 

 technology, that Howard's book was published in 

 November 1930, and includes comments written 

 earlier that year.

 a partial history. Norman: University of Oklahoma 

 Press, p. vii. Judd wrote in his preface, " Fhe present 

 writer, never a member of the B. A. E., knew most of 

 its scientific staff from 1910 forward and held most of 

 them in high regard. Because the majority of that 

 staff have since passed to wider horizons and because 

 their contributions will have more meaning in future 

 years, it seems appropriate to record at this time at 

 least a partial history of the Bureau and the people 

 who made it what it was." This and Judd's later book 

 are outstanding informal histories, preserving names 

 and details that would otherwise be lost.
