  • William Franklin Raynolds (March 17, 1820 – October 18, 1894) was an American explorer, engineer and U.S. army officer who served in the Mexican–American War and American Civil War. He is best known for leading the 1859–60 Raynolds Expedition while serving as a member of the U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers. During the 1850s and again after his participation in the Civil War, Raynolds was the head engineer on numerous lighthouse construction projects. He oversaw riverway and harbor dredging projects intended to improve accessibility and navigation for shipping. As a cartographer, Raynolds surveyed and mapped the islands and shorelines on the Great Lakes and other regions. At least six lighthouses whose construction he oversaw are still standing. Some are still in use and of these, several are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1848, during the American occupation of Mexico after the Mexican–American War, Raynolds and other U.S. Army personnel were the first confirmed to have reached the summit of Pico de Orizaba, the tallest mountain in Mexico, and inadvertently set what may have been a 50-year American alpine altitude record. In 1859, Raynolds was placed in charge of the first government-sponsored expedition to venture into the upper Yellowstone region that was later to become Yellowstone National Park. Heavy winter snowpack in the Absaroka Range of Wyoming prevented the expedition from reaching the Yellowstone Plateau, forcing them to divert to the south and cross Union Pass at the northern end of the Wind River Range. After negotiating the pass the expedition entered Jackson Hole and surveyed the Teton Range, now within Grand Teton National Park. During the Civil War, Raynolds participated in the Battle of Cross Keys during the Valley Campaign of 1862 and a year later was in charge of fortifications in the defense of the military arsenal at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. On March 13, 1865, Raynolds was brevetted brigadier general for meritorious service during the Civil War. After the war, Lt. Col Raynolds was assigned to a myriad of positions across the Nation to include establishing the St. Louis Engineer Office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1870-1872. Raynolds retired from the army on March 17, 1884, with the permanent rank of colonel. He was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society in 1867. (en)
  • 威廉·富兰克林·雷诺兹（英語：William Franklin Raynolds，1820年3月17日－1894年10月18日）是美国工程师、探险家，曾于美墨战争和南北战争期间担任美国陆军军官。作为陆军的一员，他曾于1859至1860年间引领，这成为他一生中最知名的事迹。 19世纪50年代期间以及内战结束后，雷诺兹是多个灯塔建设项目的首席工程师。在他的监督下，许多河流和港口得以疏浚，航运条件获得改善。雷诺兹对包括五大湖在内的许多地区进行勘测，绘制出很多岛屿和海岸线的地图。由他监督建造的灯塔中有多座至今仍在使用，并且还有些已经入选国家史迹名录。 1848年，美军占领墨西哥城，雷诺兹与其他多位美国陆军人员成为史上首批确认登上该国最高峰奥里萨巴山的人，这很可能在不经意间创下北美登山高度的新纪录并保持了50年之久。1859年，雷诺兹带队探索黄石河上游地区，该地区之后会发展成黄石国家公园，这次探险人称雷诺兹远征，是联邦政府资助的第一次针对该地区的探险。由于遭遇峭壁和深厚的积雪，远征队未能到达黄石公园的核心地带，雷诺兹等人被迫转向南下，经过风河山北部的尤宁山口后，最终穿过蒂顿岭南部进入皮埃尔洞。 雷诺兹曾于美国内战期间参与河谷会战的克罗斯基斯战役，一年后还负责驻防西弗吉尼亚州军事要地哈珀斯费里。1865年3月13日，雷诺兹因立功表现加衔准将。1884年3月17日，雷诺兹以永久上校军衔从工兵队退役，为40余年的军旅生涯划上句点。1894年10月18日，威廉·富兰克林·雷诺兹在底特律辞世，享年74岁。 (zh)
