Plain Ol’ Charlie Deam – Robert C. Kriebel (Hardback / Hard Cover)

Pioneer Hoosier Botanist

Although a self-taught botanist, Charlie Deam (1865-1953) once served as state forester for Indiana and is revered as a pioneer in the field of botany. He traveled more than 100,000 miles throughout the state in his lifetime collecting 73,000 plant specimens. His four volumes about the flora, grasses, shrubs, and trees of Indiana resulted, among other things, in three honorary degrees. Deam’s herbarium and 3,000-volume botanical library are now housed at Indiana University.
