This album documents RARE photos NOT found online of Gustavus Detlef Hinrichs' family
(BOTH his wives who happen to be sisters, are photographed here with signatures time stamps and RED 2 cent STAMPS dating civil war, their photos are NOT documented online)
Gustavus Hinrichs, a member of the University of Iowa science faculty, non other than the man who was the first scientist to identify the straight-line thunderstorms that can produce winds in excess of 100 mph, and gave it the name derecho.
Hinrichs was a prolific author. Between 1856 and 1913, he published twenty-five books and hundreds of articles. Among historians of science, Hinrichs is best known as one of several contributors to the development of the PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS!!
He taught at Washington University in St. Louis until retiring in 1907, and he also became an entrepreneur selling an embalming fluid of his own invention to morticians, according to the Biographical Dictionary.
He also started the first state weather service. In addition to chemistry, Hinrichs studied and published in physics, astronomy, meteorology, and geology. He was quite prolific, authoring an extensive number of books and articles in different languages, as he was fluent in Danish, French, German, Italian, and English, and knew some Greek and Latin. In all respects, Hinrichs was a true man of science showing an almost religious-like zealousness in his pursuits and efforts to share his findings with the professional scientific community, his students, and the general public.
THIS ALBUM CONTAINS ORIGINAL PHOTOS FROM WETHERBY'S GALLERY AND 3 ORIGINAL RED 2 CENT STAMPS FROM CIVIL WAR
The stamp was issued to fulfill a need for a reduced rate, 2-Cent denomination for newspaper, magazine, and local deliveries; and was often used to "make up" higher rates, or split in half to make up lower ones (a 1-Cent stamp) due to shortages at the local post office
