Author Description

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Geology of Dayton and Vicinity: With Special Reference to the Gravel Ridge Area South of the City, Including Hills and Dales and Moraine Park This volume was begun in response to the request of Mr. E. A. Deeds that a few pages of printed matter be produced, describing the chief points of geologic interest in Moraine Park, his beautiful estate among the hills south of the city. Soon, however, it was found desirable to include also illustrations from Hills and Dales, and from the gravel ridge area south of the Calvary cemetery, and so the few pages grew into a pamphlet. Through the generosity of Mr. Deeds, numerous photographs were added, a map of the gravel ridge area was prepared and investigations were ex tended to other points beyond the limits of the gravel ridge area, until the pamphlet grew into the present volume.
