WILLIAM BOONE DOUGLASS (Victoria? Boone; Hirams; Samuels; Samuel4; Georges), born 30 June, 1864, in Corydon, Ind. Married 28 Nov., 1889, Alvira (Allie) Luckett (Hirams; Helen' Boone; Georges; Samuels; Samuel4; Georges), No. 3303.
Their residence is in Washington, D. C. Mr. Douglass is a United States Surveyor with offices at Sante Fe, New Mexico, his work being largely in that locality. He was appointed United States Cadastral Engineer, on July 1, 1818.
William Boone Douglass was a graduate of the School of Law of Georgetown University, from which he received the degree of Master of Laws in 1888; and was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of Indiana, and to the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States.
On August 14th, 1909, Mr. Douglass, then Examiner of Surveys of the General Land Office, discovered the World's greatest natural bridge, in southern Utah, which he named "The Rainbow Natural Bridge."
Upon his recommendation it was created a national monument by President Taft, and the pen with which the President signed the proclamation was presented to Mr. Douglass. In the government publication "General Information Regarding the National Monuments," Gov. Printing Press, 1917, page 1, he is officially credited with the discovery of this great bridge, which Theodore Roosevelt called one of the world's greatest wonders.
One adventure which Mr. Douglass had upon the occasion of this discovery, was a capture by Indians; an experience not uncommon among the early Boones, but very rare in the present generation. Accompanied by an Indian guide, Jim, he attended a secret midnight dance by the Navajo Indians, although the guide had tried to restrain him from going. A party of Paiute Indians were visitors at the dance, and upon discovering that a white man was a spectator they were greatly incensed at his intrusion upon the sacred ceremony. The Paiutes captured Mr. Douglass and planned to take his life, but were diverted from their purpose by the Indian guide Jim, who told them that Mr. Douglass was in the service of the United States and that his death would bring trouble upon them. After considering the matter from this point of view, his captors finally released him.
In New Mexico and elsewhere Mr. Douglass has conducted extensive scientific explorations, and has proven himself to be an archaeologist of much ability. He has made a particular study of the prehistoric homes of the Tewa and other Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, and the results of his research on this subject have been published by the government and by scientific associations. Some of his archaeological writings are; "Structural Orientation of Pre-Historic Indian Pueblos and Shrines"; "A World-Quarter Shrine of the Tewa Indians"; "Notes on the Shrines of the Tewa and other Pueblo Indians of New Mexico"; "The Land of the Small House People."
He is a member of the International Congress of Americanists, and is General Secretary of the National Park Association of New Mexico, an organization which has for its object the formation of a vast national park in the southwest for the preservation of its many natural beauties,its cliff-dwellings and other archaeological wonders. From "The New Mexico Journal of Education," March, 1916, we quote Mr. Douglass' own words on this subject:-
"If we are ever to know our country or its earliest people, here is the field where we must learn it. The great universities of the east, with their great wealth and their accumulated libraries, will overshadow us save in one thing; all must come to New Mexico to study mankind. The creation of this proposed national park is a national duty; not for the benefit of the United States alone, but rather as our contribution to the University of the World."
