The world's greatest meteorite hunter—and a co-founder of The Meteoritical Society—was Harvey H. Nininger (1887–1986). His work informs the Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites in the American Museum of Natural history, and now the Huss-Nininger collection joins the Museum in its largest meteorite acquisition. Nininger went door to door across the Great Plains urging men, women, and even children to keep an eye out for further specimens.
