George Perkins Marsh had many careers during his long life, including sheep farmer, lawyer, politician, and diplomat. Without a doubt, he is best remembered today for his groundbreaking work, "Man and Nature," which was one of the first pieces of scholarship to describe in detail the significance of human action in transforming the natural world. Since its publication in 1864, the book has been written about at length, and more recently, there has been an increase in interest in Marsh's correspondence and letters with his 19th century colleagues. The Bailey/ Howe Library at the University of Vermont has placed a number of these documents online at this site, many of which will be quite interesting to those persons seeking to learn about this remarkable man's life and thoughts. Visitors can browse or search the various forms of correspondence, which includes letters to and from G.P. Marsh, the noted Vermont sculptor, and S.F. Baird, a leading 19th century authority on North American wildlife.
