Scientist/Engineer
This is something of a catchall category, covering everything from chemists to paleontologists, geologists, botanists, bridge-builders, weapons manufacturers, inventors, and more.
The 1800s were an age of invention and technological advancement. Nitroglycerine was introduced in 1846, dynamite in 1866; the telegraph connected both coasts in 1861 and with Europe in 1866; Bell’s telephone was patented in 1876; and the Gatling machine gun was introduced in 1862. In the 1870s, rival scientists Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope led expeditions from Nebraska to Colorado and Montana in search of dinosaur bones. Inestigators of this occupation should indicate their areas of specialization (i.e. structural engineer, archaeologist, botanist, inventor, etc.)
