 Thomas Nuttall (1786-1859)
homas Nuttall was one of the most adventurous of the early naturalists on the American frontier, and certainly one of most knowledgeable in the field.
As an example, his career in botany was sparked within a day of his arrival in Philadelphia in 1808 by Benjamin Smith Barton, who had given up on his previous protégé, Frederick Pursh, and was searching for another.
Nuttall's efforts this time were far more productive, and by mid-August he was at Mackinac Island on Lake Huron, visiting the headquarters of John Jacob Astor's American Fur Company.

 Central Colorado Hunting & Fishing - HUNTING IN CENTRAL COLORADO
Behind its scientific name, Iris missouriensis, is a wonderful story of adventure in botany: In 1808, a 22-year-old Englishman named Thomas Nuttall emigrated to the U. Entranced by explorers' tales of the wonders of the American West, he signed on as a collector of plants for a prominent Philadelphia botanist.
Nuttall was a born collector, writes Howard Ensign Evans in his book, Pioneer Naturalists, and was so heedless of all but his work that he often became hopelessly lost and had to be rescued.
Among the hundreds of plants Nuttall collected on that trip was Iris missouriensis, named for the locale where Nuttall first spotted it, the wet bottomlands of the Missouri River.
