(Excerpt from Chapters on the Natural History of the Unite...)
Excerpt from Chapters on the Natural History of the United States It will be observed that quite a large number of the illustra tions are reproduced from photographs of living animals of va rions species and kinds. These were all taken by myself from the living subjects, and nearly in every instance of natural size. Too much cannot be said in favor of the constant use of the photographic camera in zoology, and when by its means really first-rate, life-like pictures of any of our living forms are secured in natural attitudes, and with nature's surroundings, they should surely be published, and be made to take the place Of many of the highly incorrect figures Of our animals, still to be found in popular works upon natural history. Taxidermists and artists will then, I am sure, appreciate this feature in my book, for if anything be useful and helpful to them in their work it is good pictures of this class, used, as they safely can be, as models.

Robert Wilso Shufeldt was born on Feburary 21, 1822 at Red Hook, New York, son of George Adam Shufeldt, a prominent lawyer, and his wife Mary (Wilson) Shufeldt, and a descendant of George Shufeldt, who emigrated to New York from Holland in 1710.
He studied at the Philadelphia naval school.
Entering the navy as midshipman, May 11, 1839, he cruised in the Brazil and Home Squadrons, was commissioned passed midshipman on July 2, 1845, and then served a year in the coast survey and two years in African and Mediterranean waters.
In 1849-51 he was chief officer of the mail steamers Atlantic and Georgia. He was made lieutenant in October 1853 but resigned from the navy the following June, and commanded first the Collins Line steamer Liverpool for two years and then the Black Hawk and Catawba between New York and New Orleans. At the opening of the Civil War, he was appointed consul general to Cuba and continued in this duty until April 1863, going to Mexico in 1862 on a hazardous secret mission at the time of the French invasion.
He then rejoined the navy, his commander's commission dating from November 19, 1862, and commanded first the Conemaugh, which participated in the capture of Morris Island, South Carolina, and in other operations off Charleston, and later the Proteus of the East Gulf Squadron, in which he was senior naval officer in joint operations, March 23-27, 1865, at St. Marks, Florida.
His post-bellum service included command of the Hartford and Wachusett in the Orient, with promotion to captain in 1869; of the Miantonomah, 1870; and of an expedition surveying the Isthmus of Tehuantepec canal route, 1870-71, his report of which was published in 1872.
After a brief Mediterranean cruise in the Wabash and duty at the Brooklyn navy yard, he was chief of the bureau of equipment and recruiting, 1875-78; during this service he reorganized the naval apprentice system and also commanded naval forces at New Orleans during the election troubles of '76. Having advocated the use of the navy in extending American commerce and persuaded James Gillespie Blaine, then secretary of state, of the possibilities of a treaty with Korea, which had just made trade concessions to Japan but had not yet opened relations with any western power, he sailed in the Ticonderoga in 1878 on a combined commercial and diplomatic mission. After acting as American and British representative to settle a Liberian boundary dispute, and making a treaty with the king of Johanna, he sailed to Japan, reaching Nagasaki, April 15, 1880, and Fusan, Korea, May 4.
Finding Japanese mediation of very doubtful value, he secured from the Chinese viceroy Li Hung Chang a promise of aid with Korea in exchange for help in organizing a Chinese navy.
After a trip home, Shufeldt was back in China in June 1881 as naval attaché and with full power to negotiate a treaty, which was finally drawn up, signed May 22, 1882, and subsequently ratified.
The treaty was wholly the result of Shufeldt's initiative, pertinacity, and genuine diplomatic skill; it was the great achievement of his career.
Subsequently he was president of the Naval Advisory Board, 1882-84, during the beginnings of the "White Squadron, " and superintendent of the naval observatory, reaching rear admiral's rank in 1883, and retiring Feburary 21, 1884. Of gigantic frame and strong physique, he succumbed finally to pneumonia in his Washington home. His burial was at Arlington.

His wife, whom he married October 16, 1847, was Sarah Hutchins Abercrombie, daughter of the Rev. James Abercrombie of Philadelphia. They had six children, of whom three sons survived their parents.
