Fran Hamerstrom and her impacts to wildlife biology and landscape ecology are invaluable to Wisconsin birds and ornithologists alike. Her voice is inspiring and can make anyone want to race down to the Buena Vista Grassland to protect the prairie chickens.

A wonderful book about the life and experiences of a biologist in the 1900's, who learned under such notable names as Aldo Leopold and Paul Errington.

The writing style is entertaining, simple, and easy to read. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in wildlife biology or animals in general.
