Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Geologist, Vol. 35: A Monthly Journal of Geology and Allied Sciences William Henry Pettee was born in Newton Upper Falls, Mass., January 13, 1836, of representative New England parentage. His father was a manufacturer of cotton fabrics and of mill machinery. In boyhood his studious tastes had to be restrained and his college preparation delayed out of regard to his somewhat slender bodily frame. He entered Harvard College at nineteen years of age, took high rank in the required classical course of that period, was selected to deliver a Latin oration in his junior year, and graduated with distinction in the class of 1861. He continued in graduate work in the same university for over three years, receiving the degree of master of arts in 1864, studying at first in the engineering department of the Lawrence Scientific School and later in the college, where at the same time he was an assistant. From 1865 to 1869 he traveled and studied in Europe, his main work being in the Royal Mining Academy of Saxony, at Freiberg, with vacations in the mining regions of Germany. In 1868 Mr. Pettee returned to Harvard University as a teacher in the School of Mining and Practical Geology then established under the direction of Josiah D. Whitney.
