WARREN UPHAM

'Warren Upham' (1850 – 1934) was a geologist, archaeologist, and librarian who is best known for his studies of glacial Lake Agassiz. Upham worked as a geologist in New Hampshire before moving in 1879 to Minnesota to study the resources and glacial geology of that state. Upham's first major report on Lake Agassiz was published in 1890 by the Geological Survey of Canada, but the main product of his many years of study ("The Glacial Lake Agassiz") was published in 1895 as ''Monograph 25'' of the U.S. Geological Survey's monograph series.
Upham graduated from Dartmouth College in 1871 and worked under Minnesota state geologist Newton H. Winchell. The Minnesota Historical Society republished his notes on place name origins 1969 as'' Minnesota Geographic Names: Their Origin and Historic Significance''.[1]
