Charles Gibson (historian) Charles Gibson (12 August 1920 - 22 August 1985, Keeseville, N.Y.) was a major American ethnohistorian who wrote foundational works on the Nahua peoples of colonial Mexico and was elected President of the American Historical Association in 1977. He studied history at Yale University with George Kubler, and he taught for a number of years at University of Iowa before moving to University of Michigan. His dissertation on the Nahua polity of Tlaxcala (published in 1952 as "Tlaxcala in the Sixteenth Century"), a key ally of the Spaniards in the conquest of Mexico, was the first major study of conquest and early colonial era Nahuas from the indigenous perspective. It remains a model for scholars working on Mesoamerican ethnohistory, or more simply put, history of Mexican Indians. He also contributed to the creation of important bibliographic guides to works in Mexican history, such as the "Handbook of Latin American Studies" and Mesoamerican ethnohistory as well as an index to the journal "Hispanic American Historical Review." The culmination of his work on colonial-era Nahuas is "The Aztecs Under Spanish Rule: A History of the Indians of the Valley of Mexico, 1519-1810" (1964), which "reordered the research priorities for a generation of colonial historians."

Herman LeRoy Fairchild Herman Le Roy Fairchild (April 29, 1850 – November 29, 1943) was an American educator and geologist. He was an early proponent of the theory of meteorite impact causing craters such as that of Meteor Crater, Arizona. Fairchild also left his mark on glacial geology. In that field he is best known for having accurately mapped the proglacial lakes of western New York. He did his field work between the 1888 and the early years of the 20th century. He located strand lines (beaches) and erosional surfaces, determined their altitude, and interpolated between them to show the extent of several large bodies of water. A series of lakes was created as the Wisconsinan glaciation ended and ice sheets retreated during the latest Pleistocene and early Holocene epochs. Fairchild discovered several outlets where each lake drained to the east or west.
