Albert Hazen Wright

Albert Hazen Wright (August 15, 1879 – July 5, 1970) was an American herpetologist and professor at Cornell University.

On June 25, 1910, Wright married his wife, Anna Maria Allen, whom he met at Cornell University.

Perhaps Wright's most notable work is that which was completed between 1921 and 1922 at Okefinokee Swamp in Georgia; as a result, Wright authored the book Life-Histories of the Frogs of Okefinokee Swamp, which he originally intended to be used as a reference source for teachers and students alike.

Wright's achievements include being named an honorary member of the International Ornithological Congress, being elected the second vice president of the Dewitt Historical Society, and winning the Eminent Ecologist Award in 1955.

[5] Wright and his wife are jointly commemorated in the scientific name of a subspecies of snake, Storeria dekayi wrightorum.
