Description

Abstract

In the second volume of Tanner’s autobiography, he includes not only incidents in his life, but also some historical remembrances of the Indianola Valley and his family history. This volume focuses more on every day events and philosophical conclusions about his life and career. Other people written about in this account include Tanner’s parents, siblings, and grandparents; his wife Helen and her family; and Ottella Watson. His work at the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum (especially the creation of the facility and correspondence with Brother Bean) is detailed on pages 188–202. Several of his research publications are in the back.
