WILLIAM GAMBEL, PIONEER NATURALIST William Gambel was the first trained naturalist to traverse California overland in the 19th century, collecting bird and plant specimens for the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. Although he never traveled through Stanislaus County, he was the first to discover and describe for science some local species, like Wrentit, California Thrasher, and Oak Titmouse. William Gambel lived to be only 27 years old. You can read the remarkable story of this pioneer naturalist by going to "Sal's Articles" link.
