Samuel Stehman Haldeman (1812–1880) was an American naturalist and philologist, recognized for his work on linguistics and the natural sciences, particularly in the field of entomology. Born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Haldeman's scholarly interests embraced a vast array of subjects, yet he is particularly noted for his seminal work on the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect. His influential publication, 'Pennsylvania Dutch: A Dialect of South German With an Infusion of English', offers an incisive analysis of this unique dialect, underscoring its origins and development among German-speaking immigrants in Pennsylvania. Haldeman's linguistic research extended beyond this dialect, contributing to the understanding of American English variants and the study of sound changes. His meticulous approach to linguistics was matched by his scientific rigor in the study of invertebrates, making him a respected figure among contemporary naturalists. Haldeman's contribution to American philology and natural history was profound, and he was a contemporary of notable scholars like Louis Agassiz and Charles Darwin, with whom he corresponded. His literary style, characterized by clarity and precision, is evident across his varied corpus of work, reflecting both the depth and breadth of his expertise.
