Description
GEORGE DAVIDSON [1825-1911] pioneer west coast scientist. Probably no name is better known in the scientific world of the Pacific Coast than that of Professor George Davidson, of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. His active and untiring efforts, extending over a long period of time in advancing the interests of science on this coast, are well known; and the work he has accomplished in the service in which he holds high rank has earned for him a name and reputation which might be envied by any man. He determined the Eastern boundary, 120th meridian, of California in 1873. Lengthy ALS, 1908, WRITTEN IN THE 3RD PERSON. "Mr George Davidson expresses his thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Woodward for their kind invitation to meet the members of the National Academy of Sciences on the evening of Wednesday the twenty-second of April, and regrets his inability to be present. San Francisco Cal. March 22/08."
