James Bentley, born 1865 near Jericho Vermont, became America’s first cloud physicist through patient study of water forms and ice crystals. He produced detailed snow crystal photos, including the first photomicrographs of an ice crystal in 1885, after self teaching photography and long autumns reading encyclopedias.
