Photo of Harvey Sargent surveying
 
December 21, 1903, 10:00 p.m. Our party is strongly and most happily reinforced by the arrival of Harvey Sargent, topographer, who will from now on do all the map-making. I knew (Sargent) as one of the most skillful topographers of the United States Geological Survey...also as a tried explorer and a staunch reliance in an emergency. He is a New England man, one of that fine stock that has manned our schooners and clipper ships for several generations. (from Friendly China/Two Thousand Miles Afoot Among the Chinese, by Bailey Willis, Stanford University Press, 1949)
