Horace Amidon Gaylord

GAYLORD, Horace Amidon (1877-1916) Connecticut-born dentist who went on an expedition to several Mexican islands, including Guadalupe Island in 1896, with wealthy California collector, A. W. Anthony. Gaylord reported that their schooner "anchored at the Mecca of the expedition, Guadalupe Island,” on September 17.


Gaylord also spent 30 days on Santa Barbara, San Nicolas and San Clemente islands, from May 12-June 10, 1897, under the auspices of the Pasadena Academy of Sciences. During this time he wrote a report on the species observed, he collected dozens of mice on the three islands, and he collected a dozen foxes on San Clemente Island. Others on this trip were: Harry Gaylord, James Britten and Joseph Grinnell.
