An American ethnologist and archaeologist of great repute; born near Aurora, N. Y., Nov. 21, 1818; died at Rochester, N. Y. (where he was a lawyer), Dec. 17, 1881. Among his important contributions to the science of ethnology is "Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family", published by the Smithsonian Institution in 1869, and which remains the standard work on the subject. His "League of the Iroquois", published in 1851, is the highest authority on the tribal organization of the Six Nations. His other works include: "The American Beaver and his Works"; "Ancient Society" (1887); "Horses and Horse Life of the American Aborigines"; etc.
