Title: Untrustworthy Biography
Review: David Starr Jordan (1851-1931) was a distinguished ichthyologist, a successful teacher, a forceful public speaker, and an influential advocate of both environmentalism and world peace. Perhaps because he rose to be president of two different leading research universities (first Indiana, then Stanford) his published observations on a variety of subjects about which he had no competence at all continue to receive respect they do not deserve.The only topic which engaged him that I can speak about with any authority is the life of the naturalist C. S. Rafinesque. In this book, Jordan frequently mentions Latin and Greek scientific names of fishes first described and named by Rafinesque. Jordan should have stopped with that. But rather, he essayed to tell us something about the immigrant naturalist's life as well. I have written elsewhere that nobody made more mistakes about Rafinesque's life in fewer pages than did David Starr Jordan. He still holds that unenviable record.
