Carl Sauer was born in Warrenton, Missouri in 1889.
At Berkeley Sauer developed a department characterized by the understanding of the long-term effects of the agency of man on earth and a determined belief that human geography was inseparable from the physiography of the earth.
Sauer’s philosophy for the discipline of geography was embodied in his manifesto "The Morphology Landscape" (1925) and was later refined in "Forward to Historical Geography" (1941).

But in the United States, it has a more specialized meaning: This is the name given by Carl Ortwin Sauer of the University of California, Berkeley to his program of reorganizing cultural geography (some say all geography) along regional lines, beginning in the first decades of the 20th Century.
To Sauer, a landscape and the cultures in it could only be understood if all of its influences through history were taken into account: Physical, cultural, economic, political, environmental.
Sauer's philosophy was the principal shaper of American geographic thought in the mid-20th century.

 CSISS Classics - Friedrich Ratzel, Clark Wissler, and Carl Sauer: Culture Area Research and Mapping
In the mid-20th century, geographer Carl Sauer (1889-1975) reinvigorated the culture area concept within the field of geography by synthesizing the ideas of the European Kulturkreise school with the anthropological approaches to culture area introduced to him by his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, anthropologists Alfred Kroeber and Robert Lowie.
Sauer argued that the diffusion of ideas from a few "cultural hearths," or cultural centers, had been the driving force in human history (Sauer 1952).
His work inspired further research on the origin and spread of cultures within human geography (Meinig 1965).

Whether Díaz reached California desert land or not, he was wounded in a freak accident, and died about twenty days later in early 1541.

Carl Ortwin Sauer (1889-1975) is widely regarded as one of the most influential geographers of the twentieth century, admired particularly for his studies in cultural and historical geography.
His contribution to the study of prehistory is less widely acknowledged, and yet, between 1944 and 1962, he published a series of speculative yet scholarly papers that contain many prescient insights into humanity’s remote past and the relationships of our ancestors to the environments they occupied--and modified.

It is therefore quite possible that the statements cover issues that are marginal, rather than central to the interest of the person interviewed, or not relevant to his recent or present work.
Between the anthropologists and Sauer, I decided that geology was not for me. By my senior year I had made up my mind that I was going to give up geology, because of its disregard of man. I never lost my interest in the physical surface of the earth, but that wasn't enough.

The seminal work was done by Fred Kniffen, the acknowledged founder and father figure of American folk-geography.
Kniffen's intellectual roots reached deep into the "Berkeley school" of cultural geography, developed by the late Carl O. Sauer at the University of California in the 1920s and 1930s.
In 1967, while I was still snatching surnames, Professor Kniffen published a stimulating call for research on traditional cemeteries, pointing out the great potential value of such studies.

His first degree, in 1935, was in chemistry, but after spending a summer in Mexico he turned his attention to geography, in which subject he earned a second bachelor’s degree at UCLA.
He was to combine these interests in his dissertation “Aboriginal drink areas in New Spain,” written under the supervision of Professor Carl O. Sauer at UC Berkeley, where Bruman received his Ph.D. in geography in 1940.
Henry Bruman’s first faculty appointment was at Pennsylvania State College (now University), interrupted by World War II when he served in the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS).

It was Carl O. Sauer who initiated some geographers� interest in long periods of time.
� He produced generations of students, some of the more recent of whom have reformulated Sauer�s �history� into �development� by looking toward the present and the immediate future rather than the past.
Looking to the future, and trying to improve the lives of people today rather than trying to understand what happened to people long dead, is certainly admirable and understandable.
