		The theory holds that a variant of Amerike's name appeared on an early British map (of which however no copies survive) and that this was the true inspiration for Waldseemüller.
		Another theory, first advanced by Jules Marcou in 1875 and later recounted by novelist Jan Carew, is that the name America derives from the district of Amerrique in Nicaragua.
		According to Marcou, Vespucci later applied the name to the New World, and even changed the spelling of his own name from "Alberigo" to "Amerrigo" to reflect the importance of the discovery.

	The Naming of America
		Jules Marcou, a prominent French geologist who while studying North America argued, as did several 19th-century writers,
		Like Marcou, Carew wants us to believe that America was not named after Vespucci, but vice versa; that Vespucci had, so to speak, re-named himself after his discovery, gilding his given name by modifying it to reflect the significance of his discovery.
		For Carew, however, the "truth" he found in his reading of history becomes a source of rage: "Robbing peoples and countries of their indigenous names was one of the cruel games that colonizers played with the colonized….

		The French- Swiss geologist, Jules Marcou, concluded that all of the wood present was coniferous and thought that it closely resembled formations he had seen in Germany which dated to the Triassic era.
		Marcou took extensive notes and sent several specimens back to Europe but fell ill and was forced to return to Europe before a complete report could be finished.
		Blake disagreed with Marcou's description of the wood's age and reported that he believed it was probably from the Carboniferous era.

	Explanatory Text for the Geologic Map of the U.S. - Part 2
		Between 1845 and 1853 the territory of the United States was extended northward, southward, and westward to its present conterminous limits by various acquisitions, which greatly expanded the field for geological exploration and mapping and also enlarged the problem of making a geological map of the United States.
		Between 1853 and 1858, Jules Marcou produced a succession of geological maps of the United States, the later ones extending to the Pacific Coast.
		Marcou was a Frenchman, who came to this country as a protege of Louis Agassiz and became a controversial figure.

		Specifically, Marcou introduced the name of an Indian tribe and of a district in Nicaragua called Amerrique, and asserted that this district--rich in gold--had been visited by both Columbus and Vespucci, who then made this name known in Europe.
		Carew cites Marcou to back his claim that "in the archives of Toledo, a letter from Vespucci to the Cardinal dated December 9, 1508, is signed Amerrigo with the double 'r' as in the Indian Amerrique...
		The eve of America's Quincentenary is surely an appropriate time to come to terms with the cultural implications of its name and, once and for all, to right the record about Vespucci.

	Amerriques, Amerigho, Vespucci and America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This facinating article carefully outlines the argument that the name "America" was not derived from the man named Vespucci, but was instead the name of a mountain range and a tribe of indians that Columbus reports of encounters with on his forth voyage to the New World.
		Using quotes from still existing original documants, Marcou shows how Vespucci changed his name to resemble "America," the name then used by common people for the New World, to promote the idea that it was named after him
		The first paper the Marcou wrote on this matter appeared in the Atlantic Monthly for March 1875.

	Americas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A few alternative theories regarding the landmass' naming have been proposed, but none of them has achieved any widespread acceptance.
		One alternative, first advanced by Jules Marcou in 1875 and later recounted by novelist Jan Carew, is that the name America derives from the district of Amerrique in Nicaragua.
		Another theory, first proposed by a Bristol antiquary and naturalist, Alfred Hudd, in 1908 was that America is derived from Richard Amerike, a merchant from Bristol, who is believed to have financed John Cabot's voyage of discovery from England to Newfoundland in 1497 as found in some documents from Westminster Abbey a few decades ago.

		As a geologist for the Pacific Railroad Explorations and Surveys of the 35th parallel, Marcou drew a geological map of the U.S. that extended as far west as the 106th meridian.
		By 1855 he had returned to Germany, where he produced this map extending the coverage of his earlier map to encompass the entire United States.

	Pantheon \| Catalog \| Reef Madness by David Dobbs
		As his early biographer, Jules Marcou, a French protégé who followed Louis across the Atlantic to work with him for several decades at Harvard, noted, “He was one of those very few men whose works are not sufficient to make him entirely known; one must meet him face to face.
		Agassiz himself was more interesting than his works.” This can read as both praise and damnation, of course, reflecting the ambivalent tone of Marcou’s biography.
		(Marcou’s book, published after Louis had died, would enrage Alexander, who tried to have its more critical and personal passages suppressed.) But Marcou knew Louis well.

		Since he had experienced firsthand the frequent dangers and privations of the desert Southwest, Whipple was chosen by the War Department to direct the survey of a possible transcontinental railroad route along the thirty-fifth parallel from Fort Smith, Arkansas, to Los Angeles (see WHIPPLE EXPEDITION).
		In his report Whipple confirmed the feasibility of the thirty-fifth parallel route for a railroad.
		Bigelow, Marcou, and the other scientists had collected specimens and geological data.

	The Naming of America
		Carew is resurrecting the ideas of Jules Marcou, a prominent French geologist who while studying North America argued, as did other 19th-century writers, that the name America was brought back to Europe from the New World; and that Vespucci had changed his name to reflect the name of his discovery.
		In ignoring the possible intention of these words as explanation, most scholars have ignored the simple fact that place names usually originate informally in the spoken word and first circulate that way, not in the printed word.
		Moreover, to read the passage in the Cosmographiae Introductio as explanation lends credence to the theory, argued by Carew, Marcou, and others, that the early European explorers called the new continent Amerrique or, perhaps, another name with a similar pronunciation.

		Botanist Dr. Bigelow, geologist Jules Marcou, and chief aid Lieutenant J. Ives all recorded their admiration and respect for Whipple.
		Balduin Möllhausen, a German naturalist and artist who accompanied Whipple's expedition wrote that Whipple had "special professional qualifications," and "particularly pleasing manners and inspired confidence in all who approached him." Dr. Bigelow named dozens of exotic plants collected on the Whipple expedition in his honor.

		James Hall, previously introduced in the discussion of the Seward Surveys, contributed greatly to the advancement of research on Trenton Falls during his tenure as State Paleontologist.

		Trask left geology, but Blake continued his work with the Pacific Railroad Surveys, and Jules Marcou published two geologic maps of the United States that showed California consisting of just a few rock types.
		More information was needed, so in 1860, the California Legislature created an official Geological Survey of California with Josiah D. Whitney (above and next page) as the first State Geologist.
