Book Synopsis A Young Man from "ultima Thule" Visits Jefferson by : Gerhard Casper
Book excerpt: At the American Philosophical Society, almost to the day fifty years ago, Helmut de Terra, a historian of science at Columbia University, read a paper on 'Motives and Consequences of Alexander von Humboldt's Visit to the United States (1804).' The year 1959 was the one hundredth anniversary of Humboldt's death. In the preceding two years, de Terra had been publishing, in the Proceedings, various papers dealing with Humboldt's relationship to the United States, including Humboldt's correspondence with Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin.
