| Abstract | The scientist Alexander von Humboldt was a prolific letter writer, corresponding with more than three thousand people, "some of them well-known even today, others forgotten. . . . Occasionally the editors of Humboldt's letters stumble across people who are almost forgotten even though they were important by virtue of their contributions to their respective fields. Such a man is the German-American Johann Gottfried Fluegel whose life and work are worth being remembered." Fluegel was a lexicographer, American consul, and a representative and correspondent for the Smithsonian Institution and other American literary and scientific organizations. |
