Collection
Collection Number: A&M 3459
Correspondence (1909-1917) between A.D. Hopkins, Chief of Forest Insect Investigations, Bureau of Entomology, U.S. Department of Agriculture and Josef Brunner, field entomologist in Montana, detailing their work in forest entomology in the northern Rocky Mountains. Hopkins, a farmer from Kanawha, West Virginia, served as a State Entomologist at the WVU Agricultural Experiment Station from 1890 to 1902 before his appointment to the USDA position. The correspondence also provides insight into the personalities of Hopkins and Brunner. Malcolm M. Furniss, the donor, used the letters as the basis for his article 'Forest Entomology in the Northern Rocky Mountains: 1909-1917, as Reflected in the Correspondence between Josef Brunner and A.D. Hopkins' published in American Entomologist in the summer of 2003. The article and microfiche copies of the correspondence are also included with the collection.
