I’m named for a visionary who saw the ancient story unfold, In The Dalles, where lectures and sermons were told. A minister turned scientist, his knowledge took flight, First to recognize a paleontological delight. Soldiers’ whispers carried tales, secrets untold, In eighteen sixty-two, the fossil story would be bold. With cavalry in sixty-five, he ventured with might, Excavating fossils, igniting scientific light. At the basin, he delved into Earth’s ancient lore, Specimens sent eastward, scientific fervor did pour. Oregon’s first geologist, a pioneer so bright, A professor at Oregon, his legacy takes flight. Who am I?
