(Frederick Samuel Dellenbaugh (1853–1935) was an American ...)
Frederick Samuel Dellenbaugh (1853–1935) was an American explorer. From 1871 to 1873, he was artist and assistant topographer with Major Powell's second expedition down the Colorado River. He joined the 1899 Harriman Alaska Expedition financed by railroad magnate E. H. Harriman. He served as librarian of the American Geographical Society (1909–1911), and became a fellow of the American Ethnological Society. He helped to found the Explorers Club in 1904. It is the aim of this book to present a review in chronological order of the important events which contributed to breaking the wilderness that so long lay untamed west of the Mississippi, mentioning with as much detail as possible in a single popular volume the principal trappers and fur traders who accomplished this feat. The greatest interest of the book will probably be found to lie in the innumerable and fully authenticated tales of trappers and traders with which its pages abound. The text is a rare combination of history, observation and story telling, and it is beautifully illustrated. The “breaking of the wilderness,‘ the once savage region west of the Mississippi, by explorer, fighter, trapper and fur trader is pictured to us as by a vitascope.

Custer holds a unique place in American military history, a hero and villain in equal measure, famous for what was seen as a heroic defeat but was in fact a huge miscalculation by a poor leader. This is a perfect biography for anybody interested in military history.

Frederick S. Dellenbaugh was born on September 13, 1853, at McConnelsville, Ohio, the second son and child in the family of four children of Samuel Dellenbaugh and Elizabeth Smith. His father, a physician in Buffalo, New York, emigrated to America from Switzerland in 1824.
Dellenbaugh was educated in the public schools of Buffalo and the art schools of New York City, Munich, and Paris.
At the age of seventeen, Dellenbaugh was chosen a member of Major John Wesley Powell's Second Colorado River Expedition, 1871 - 1873. He was its artist and made sketches for the geologists; as assistant topographer, he helped with the mapping and carried on horseback to Salt Lake City the first maps of the Grand Canyon region. Later he became the historian of the expedition and of the Colorado River. A republication of A Canyon Voyage, by the Yale Press, 1926, received the John Burroughs Memorial Association medal.
His many travels in the West, on foot or horseback, by boat, wagon, or rail, testify to his abiding interest in that region. Some of his more extensive writings relate to it - The Breaking of the Wilderness (1905), Frémont and '49 (1914), George Armstrong Custer (1917). To the Cambridge History of American Literature (vol. III, 1921) he contributed Chapter XIV, "Travellers and Explorers, 1846 - 1900. " His first book, The North-Americans of Yesterday (1901), shows an appreciation of the aborigines. Several of his best-known pictures are of Indian scenes and are preserved in the Museum of the American Indian, New York City.
Dellenbaugh was one of the artists of the Harriman Alaska Expedition, 1899, and some of his paintings made for it are reproduced in the Harriman Alaska Series (1901 - 1914). A few years later he made voyages to Spitzbergen, Norway, the West Indies, and South America.
"The True Route of Coronado's March, " "The 'Wild West' of France, " and other scientific papers were published by the American Geographical Society, with which Dellenbaugh long had connections, and which he served, 1909 - 1911, as librarian. He was also secretary, 1925 - 1935, of the John Burroughs Memorial Association. A moving spirit in the Explorers Club, of which he was a founder, he edited for the club the introductory brochure of the Scoresby Log Books (1916, 1917), a notable publication. Frederick S. Dellenbaugh died on January 29, 1935, in New York City, New York, of pneumonia. The interment was at Ellenville, New York.
As the artist and assistant topographer on John Wesley Powell's second Colorado River expedition, 1871 - 1873, Frederick Samuel Dellenbaugh helped to prepare the first map of the Grand Canyon. Frederick Dellenbaugh published A Canyon Voyage, which received the John Burroughs Memorial Association medal. Several of his best-known pictures are of Indian scenes and are preserved in the Museum of the American Indian, New York City. Dellenbaugh is the namesake of Dellenbaugh Butte, in Utah. Mount Dellenbaugh, a remote peak on the Arizona Strip, was named in his honor by Major Powell.
