John James Stevenson (1841-1924) graduated from New York University in 1863 and earned a Ph.D. in 1867, the second graduate degree conferred by NYU. Stevenson then visited various western mining regions on behalf of some friends who were interested in investment opportunities. In 1869 he became Professor of Chemistry and Natural Sciences at West Stevenson is perhaps best known for his geologic studies of the Pittsburgh coal bed and associated strata in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, which mark the beginning of detailed coal-bed stratigraphy in American geology. His studies demonstrated that individual coal beds have distinctive characteristics that make them identifiable elsewhere, a tremendous aid in correlation. He is also known for his pioneering stratigraphic work for the Wheeler Survey in southern Colorado, where he determined that the Southern Rockies underwent a succession of uplifts over time, rather than the then-prevailing view of a single uplift. Stevenson served as Vice-President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) (1891), and President of the New York Academy of Sciences (1896–1898), and belonged to 35 foreign learned societies. Stevenson was one of the most active of the founders of the Geologic Society of American (GSA). He was a member of the first committee appointed to consider organizing a geological society at the Cleveland meeting of AAAS on August 14, 1888. The book: The yearbook is in good condition.
