Biographical Note
Born in Chatham, New York, Amos Eaton graduated from Williams College in 1799 and then studied law in New York City. He was admitted to the state bar in 1802. After imprisonment from 1811 to 1815, Eaton refocused his attention on science and botany. His pragmatic concern was the "application of science to the common purposes of life." From 1818 to 1824, Eaton was an itinerant lecturer at schools in New England and New York. In 1824 he helped found the Rensselaer Institute in Albany, where he remained as senior professor for the rest of his life.
