2 Title:   Charles H. Wharton papers  Requires cookie*
  Creator:   Wharton, Charles H.  
  Dates:   1935-2003  
  Contents:  
The Charles H. Wharton papers are comprised primarily of Dr. Wharton's investigations of bottomland forests and wetlands and the effects of stream channelization. He studied many river systems in the Southeastern United States including the Alcovy, a tributary of the Ocmulgee, the Altamaha, the Chattahoochee, the Flint, the Nantahala, the Savannah, and the Tallulah. Swamps which benefitted from his research and advocacy include the Atchafalaya in Louisiana and the Congaree in South Carolina. He is best known for his pioneering work The Natural Environments of Georgia. In 1951 and 1952, Dr. Wharton travelled to southeast Asia to conduct a brief study of the kouprey, a species of wild cattle endemic to Cambodia. Photographs, notes, and correspondence related to that trip are included in the collection. Dr. Wharton's research culminated into a documentary, The Wild Cattle of Cambodia, which was released in 1957.
