Charles Valentine Riley
Charles Valentine Riley (1843 - 1895) was a British-born American entomologist and artist.
==Early life==
The son of a Church of England minister, Charles Valentine Riley was born on 19 September 1843 in London’s Chelsea district. When he was around eleven his parents, the Rev. Charles and Mary (née Valentine) Riley, chose to further his education in Europe. There he excelled at art and natural history attending private schools in Dieppe, France and later Bonn, Germany.〔Washington, past and present : a history (1930-1932)
〕 After the death of his father he was brought home to Britain to enroll in a public school there. Sometime later his mother remarried which may have played a part in his decision, taken at the age of seventeen, to cross the Atlantic Ocean to America with scant resources.〔The European origins of scientific ecology, Volume 2 (1998) By Jean-Marc Drouin〕〔Cyclopedia of American Agriculture: Farm and community (1910) edited by Liberty Hyde Baile〕〔Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, Volume 56 By Royal Agricultural Society of England〕
Riley's journey west ended in the U.S. state of Illinois where was employed as a laborer on a farm in Aroma, a small community in Kankakee County some fifty miles south of Chicago. Riley had become acquainted with the farm’s owner, a British expatriate named George Edwards, sometime earlier when the latter was visiting London. Around 1864 he left the Edwards’ farm to work for the Chicago-based ''Prairie Farmer'', a leading agricultural journal as reporter, artist, and editor of the entomological department. A few months later he joined the 134th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment, mustering out before the end of 1864 after fulfilling his one-hundred day enlistment commitment.〔Science, Volume 2 By American Association for the Advancement of Science (1895)〕〔Cyclopedia of American Agriculture: Farm and community (1910)edited by Liberty Hyde Baile〕〔Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, Volume 56 By Royal Agricultural Society of England〕〔U.S. Civil War Soldiers, 1861-1865 M539 roll 76〕〔1860 US Census Records〕
