The McGee Memorial Meeting of the Washington Academy of Sciences is a book that documents the proceedings of a meeting held on December 5, 1913, at the Carnegie Institution in Washington D.C. The meeting was held in honor of William John McGee, a prominent American ethnologist, geologist, and anthropologist who had passed away earlier that year. The book contains a series of speeches and presentations given by various scholars and experts in the fields of anthropology, geology, and natural history. Topics discussed include McGee's contributions to the study of Native American cultures, his work on the geology of the Mississippi Valley, and his efforts to promote scientific research in the United States. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the state of scientific research in America in the early 20th century and the important contributions made by William John McGee to the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
