James Stevenson, 1840-1888
Managing Director
"My principal assistant, Mr. James Stevenson, labored with his usual efficiency and fidelity throughout the entire trip. In honor of his great services not only during the past season, but for over twelve years of unremitting toil as my assistant, oftentimes without pecuniary reward, and with little of the scientific recognition that usually comes to the original explorer, I have desired that one of the principal islands of the lake and one of the noble peaks reflected in its clear waters should bear his name forever." --F.V. Hayden [1]
