Sharp, William / Sullivan, Peggy. The dashing Kansan: Lewis Lindsay Dyche : the amazing adventures of a nineteenth-century naturalist and explorer. Kansas City, Mo.: Harrow Books in association with the Museum of Natural History, the University of Kansas, 1990, xiv, 222pp., very good dust-jacket, attractive copy, brown hardcover appears little used if at all. INSCRIBED over several lines each by both authors on title page to a recipient on his 70th birthday. Dyche, Lewis Lindsay, 1857-1915. - Here is a book for naturalists, biologists, conservationists and others wishing to discover one of the great 19th Century figures dedicated to preserving our wildlife heritage: Lewis Lindsay Dyche. A driving force in the establishment of the Museum of Natural History at the University of Kansas, a witness to the Peary-Cook race to the North Pole, and creator of the wildlife panorama at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, Dyche charmed Chautauqua audiences with talks about his exploits. Dyche evolved from an unschooled pioneer youth to a respected university professor of physiology, a talented taxidermist, a professional curator of birds and mammals, a global explorer and a consummate showman. As controversial as he was popular, Dyche nevertheless caught the imagination of the public - as he will yours. 9780916455064 ISBN 0916455068.
