Kennerly was, I believe, a Captain in the U.S. Army. He lead some kind of
expedition to the west coast in the mid-1800's. He apparently was interested
in or was directed to take an interest in zoological collection because
specimens with his name on them are quite common in the National Museum
collection.

I ran into quite a nice series of Northern Leopard Frogs collected by
Kennerly from "Clark's Fork, a tributary to the lower Kootenai River".
Given the the Pend Oreille River was once called "Clark's Fork", I thought
that Kennerly might have collected the frogs in Washington. I learned that
Dr. Murray Johnson had already investigated this locational reference ]
quite thoroughly and determined that it was in Idaho.

Anyway, Kennerly appears to have collected birds too.
