One-time member of the Board of Trustees and Chairman of the library committee of the Academy, this Philadelphia sportsman, stockbroker and book collector made an expedition to Alaska, with Wilson Potter. His daily record of hunting events and animals seen was prepared in letterpress, but not published, being in fact a scrapbook, with maps, pictures and photographs tipped in. A snapshot of Parrish is dated Sept. 25, 1912. Only a few copies of the book were prepared, but Charles Sheldon had a personal one made from Parrish's manuscript. The photographic prints were made by the U. S. Biological Survey. 116 pages and 209 illustrations are combined with presentation letters by the author, dated 1942.
