Abstract
American naturalist and taxidermist Martha Maxwell famous in the 1870s for her skill and expertise collecting and preserving specimens of Colorado's wildlife but is virtually unknown. Written in 1879 by Maxwell's half-sister Mary Dartt, provides a case of how women practiced natural history and taxidermy, as exploration and settlement of Colorado.--Provided by publisher.
