about: Joseph Young Bergen (1851–1917) was an American botanist. While Bergen is perhaps most widely known as a teacher and writer of books, he was also a genuine investigator. Both by early training and by inclination a man of outdoors, he found his instincts for the field leading him toward the problems of ecology.
