Abstract

This field book consists of the field notes of David Griffiths, from field work conducted in the United States (including Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona), 1902 to 1903. This item was probably three volumes that have been bound together. Narrative diary-type entries are interspersed with lists of plant specimens collected. The diary-type entries include Griffiths' record of travel, collecting activities and daily activities, and observations of plants and local agriculture. Localities include: Rocky Ford (CO), La Junta (CO), Tucson (AZ), Laosa (?), Williams (AZ), Elkins (NM), Phoenix (AZ), Flagstaff (AZ), and others. A folded map of Arizona, annotated to show the routes Griffiths traveled 1902-1903, can be found enclosed at the end of the book.
