New paperback. Combining lives of adventure and fun with a dedication for some of the best, public-spirited nature science investigation in the history of America, Frances and Frederick Hamerstrom pledged their all to accomplish great things. Stories of the appropriately wild lives of the Hamerstroms, which included work that saved the Greater Prairie Chicken in Wisconsin from going the way of the dinosaur, fill every corner of this marvelous book, which has been ably and lovingly edited by the Hamerstrom's daughter, Oregon s talented artist, illustrator and wildlife scientist, Elva Hamerstrom Paulson. The hand-crafted tales in these pages bring these brilliant, charming people back to life again, in all their natural elegance, gentle kindness, knife-sharp precision and ultimate glory.
