DeLaski practiced medicine in the Penobscot Bay region of Maine and, in addition, was a naturalist with keen powers of observation. His study of the landscape led to his conclusion that a thick glacier had overtopped the highest hills, filled all of Penobscot Bay, extended far to the east and west and probably was part of a greater continental glacier. He published these observations and inferences in numerous local newspapers and magazines, as well as the American Journal of Science. His work put him on the ?team? of Benjamin Silliman, James D. Dana and Louis Agassiz, all advocates for glaciation as the regional land shaping force as opposed to that of the Biblical Deluge, a major scientific conflict of the day both in North America and Europe. Agassiz and other prominent naturalists incorporated DeLaski?s observations into their own presentations, often without giving him credit. Published now for the first time, DeLaski?s summary work presents a holistic discussion of the controversy in which he presents his critical observations of surficial geology in Maine, southern New England and New Brunswick, Canada and concludes that these depositional and erosional features must be of glacial origin. All this was done while most ?naturalists? still advocated the Biblical Flood to explain the major components of surficial geology in North America and abroad. 606 $aHistorical geology 606 $aHistory 606 $aNature 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aClimate change 606 $aHistorical Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17020 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aPopular Science in Nature and Environment$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q16000 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 615 0$aHistorical geology. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aNature. 615 0$aEnvironment. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 14$aHistorical Geology. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aPopular Science in Nature and Environment. 615 24$aClimate Change. 676 $a500 676 $a509 676 $a55 676 $a571.7 676 $a577.27 700 $aBorns$b Jr., Harold W$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064264 702 $aMaasch$b Kirk Allen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299436403321 996 $aFoot Steps of the Ancient Great Glacier of North America$92537202 997 $aUNINA
