MAJOR GENERAL A. W. GREELY UNITED STATES ARMY, RETIRED Commander of the International Polar Expedition, engaged in scientific work, 1881-84, at Lady Franklin Bay. His expedition attained the "farthest north" of that time and discovered the most north- erly land—the latter achievement exceeded in thirty-five years by only one explorer, Peary. Enlisting in the Civil War, where he was thrice wounded, he reached the rank of captain and of brevet major. Appointed in the regular army, he was the first enlisted man to reach the grade of brigadier general, becoming successively chief signal officer and major general. In addition to being the author of many scientific publications, he has constructed more than twenty thousand miles of telegraph lines, including war lines in Cuba, China, and the Philippines, as well as the system of four thousand miles of aerial, cable, and wireless lines in Alaska. In recent years his administration of San Francisco relief operations at the time of the earthquake and fire, and service as military ambassador at the corona- tion of King George, have been important items among the duties that have fallen to him. In connection with his interest in the flora and fauna of polar lands, see pp. 358 to 425, Vol. II, of Three Years of Arctic Service, for his personal work on the plants and animals of Grinnell Land 546
