Here is an account of Grinnell’s life up to 1883, based largely on his own previously unpublished manuscript memoir. Amplified from other sources and annotated by a professional historian, it yields valuable insights into the development of the man who became Theodore Roosevelt’s trusted adviser on conservation and Indian affairs, a founder of the Boone & Crockett Club and the first Audubon society, Editor of Forest & Stream and one of the earliest and greatest authorities on the Plains Indians. An exciting narrative and a primary source document of major importance for all those interested in the life and wildlife of the Old West and the origins of the American conservation movement.
