Book Overview

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 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.
