Romeyn Beck Hough
Romeyn Beck Hough (1857–1924) was an American physician and botanist best known for creating (''The American Woods'' ), a 14-volume collection of wood samples from across North America.
==Life and work==
Hough acquired an interest in forestry and natural history from his father, Franklin B. Hough, a physician and botanist, who spent much time with his son in the outdoors. He attended Cornell University in Ithaca, New York and studied medicine, later qualifying as a physician like his father. However, he is best known for his contributions to North American botany.
Between 1888 and 1913, Hough published thirteen volumes of ''The American Woods: exhibited by actual specimens and with copious explanatory text'', a collection of wood samples from North American trees, presented as paper-thin cross-sectional slices. To each tree he dedicated a cardboard plate which contained three slices—transverse, radial, and tangential—of the wood, accompanied by information about its botany, habitat and medicinal and commercial uses. The specimens were prepared using a slicing machine that Hough designed himself and patented in 1886.〔
Hough had originally planned to publish fifteen volumes, which would include samples of all of the important trees found in North America, but he died in 1924 before the full set was completed. A final, fourteenth volume was published in 1928 using samples and notes made by Hough that were compiled by his daughter, Marjorie Galloway Hough.〔 In total, each volume contained at least 25 plates and the complete 14-volume collection comprises 1,056 slices representing 354 tree species.〔
