George Kruck Cherrie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Kruck Cherrie (1865 – 1948) was an American naturalist and explorer.
Cherrie was born in Iowa. He took part in about forty expeditions, mostly to Central and South America, including Theodore Roosevelt's South American Expedition of 1913–1914, when Cherrie was collecting specimens for the American Museum of Natural History. In 1915, he went to Bolivia with the Alfred Collins-Garnet Day expedition.
Cherrie recounted his experiences in his memoir Dark Trails: Adventures of a Naturalist (1930). He is commemorated in the names of a number of animals, including the Cherrie's Tanager.
