Walter Granger (1872-1941) was an internationally recognized fossil-collector, paleontologist, expeditioner and author. He was a key figure in the study of vertebrate paleontology from 1894 onward. His collections, stratigraphic studies, and evaluations of fossils and sites in North America, Egypt, Europe, China and Mongolia make major contributions to scientific and evolutionary studies--as well as to the present holdings of the American Museum of Natural History. His lifelong career at the American Museum began in 1890 when he was just 17 years old. He received an honorary doctorate in science from Middlebury College in 1932.

Anna Granger (1874-1952) married Walter in 1903. She lived in China during much of the Central Asiatic Expeditions from 1921-1930. She traveled by train, boat and foot to Walter's remote wintertime fieldwork sites in China's Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces and even ventured onto the Gobi Plateau to help send the CAE off to Mongolia. More than once she experienced direct encounters with local bandits, renegade troops and battling warlords, especially in the Yangtze area. Anna was an amateur horticulturist and anthropologist and published several articles in Natural History magazine.
