''The National Geographic Society: 100 Years of Adventure and Discovery.'' Pgs. 298-301, 304-305. ISBN 0-8109-1376-3.〕 ==Early life== John Oliver La Gorce was born on September 22, 1880 (some sources say 1879) in Scranton, Pennsylvania.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nndb.com/people/682/000055517/ )〕 As a youngster, he became very interested in the Morse code which his mother had taught him, and he went to the US Capitol to practice telegraphy. However, his biggest interest was in exploring and geography, and he was hired in 1905 by Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor, the third president of the Society and who would become his close friend. He soon became popular in the Society, and in 1914 a special photo of him in his office was published in the Magazine.〔National Geographic, March, 1960, page 443.〕
