Jesup Collectors 
More than fifty collectors helped with acquiring, packaging, and sending 
large wood specimens for the Jesup Collection of North American Woods. 
The specimens originated from thirty-two states, along with four 
Mexican states and one Canadian province. 
Several collectors were especially prolific. Their general collecting locales 
are shown on this map of coniferous and deciduous forests, prairies, and 
treeless regions, created for the 1880 Census of the United States. 
Charles Sargent often commemorated the careers of collectors in his 
Silva of North America. These excerpts suggest the nature of the 
collectors’ accomplishments.
