Description: "Once hailed by 'Time' magazine as 'the Johnny Appleseed of nature museums,' John Ripley Forbes arguable did as much as anyone in history to keep the wonders of nature alive for America's children... 'Nature Keeper' chronicles the life of this extraordinary educator, from his teen years with renowned conservationist William Hornady, to his celebrated 'animal lending libraries' of the 1950's and 1960's, to his final preservation victories at the end of the twenieth century." -- Pg.
