	von Chamisso - 05/1995
		Chamisso is also known for the novella "Peter Schlemihl’s Remarkable Story," the tale of a man who sells his shadow to the devil for a bottomless purse, but ends up wandering the world searching for peace of mind; he finds it in nature, and not in endless wealth.
		Chamisso wrote a haunting poem ("Das Schloss Boncourt") about the family castle in the Champagne region, remembering the courtyard, the well, the chapel with its ancestral graves, knowing that it has all vanished and that someone now plows the ground where it stood.
		Suzanne Summerville informs us that von Chamisso's family was not driven out of France by the Revolution, but in fact settled in Berlin after an older brother got a job there and then found a job for Adelbert at the KPM (Royal Berlin Porcelain Factory) as an apprentice painter.

	Adelbert von Chamisso - Presidio of San Francisco
		Von Chamisso was a naturalist of noble birth whose family was driven from France during the French Revolution of 1789 to 1799, when the monarchy was overthrown.
		The Chamisso family settled in Berlin, where Adelbert (whose full name was Louis Charles Adélaïde de Chamisso de Boncourt) became successively a page in the Imperial Court, a linguist, a botanist and finally a poet and romantic writer.
		As Chamisso immortalized his friend in plant nomenclature, Eschscholtz was able to return the favor when, on another voyage of discovery with the Rurik's Captain Kotzebue to California in 1823, he noted a showy shrub growing near the coast and named it Lupinus chamissonis, commonly known as Chamisso's Lupine.
