Daniel G. (Daniel Garrison) Brinton Audiobooks

About the author

Born in Pennsylvania in 1837, Daniel Garrison Brinton studied at Yale and Jefferson Medical College before serving as a surgeon during the American Civil War. Afterward, he built a career as a writer, lecturer, and scholar whose interests stretched across medicine, archaeology, ethnology, and language.

Brinton is often remembered as one of the early builders of American anthropology. He taught at the University of Pennsylvania and is described by the Penn Museum as the holder of the first professorship of anthropology in the United States. His work paid particular attention to the languages, traditions, and literary texts of Indigenous peoples of the Americas.

He published extensively and took a strong interest in collecting, classifying, and interpreting Native American materials for English-speaking readers. Although some of his ideas belong firmly to the scholarship of the nineteenth century, his career still stands out for its ambition, range, and lasting place in the history of anthropology.
