Humboldt also influenced a second generation of American linguists: Francis Lieber, who still had been a personal protégé of Humboldt’s and who studied Black English of South Carolina, English creoles of the Caribbean, and Chinook Jargon together with language acquisition; Albert S. Gatschet as a former student of the Humboldtian J. C. Eduard Buschmann in Berlin and as the only professional linguist at J. W. Powell’s Bureau of American Ethnology, studying diverse American languages; and Daniel G. Brinton, who examined Humboldt intensively, translated an essay of his on the verb in American languages into English, but misinterpreted Humboldt in social-evolutionist terms. Despite individual achievements, the second generation of American Humboldtians ultimately remained too disjointed to have much of a long-term impact, and Brinton appeared a renegade with his continued insistence on social Darwinism. When Brinton passed away, Humboldtian ideas evidently had little of a chance for survival in the United States.
