Glorious Times: Adventures of the Craighead Naturalists

Tom Benjey

4.9/5 (23004 ratings)

Description:This edition was withdrawn prior to publication.Glorious Times… tells the fascinating story of an American clan of Scots-Irish origin that settled in and near the South Mountain “Cradle of Conservation” close to nature, with the Yellow Breeches Creek flowing past its backyard, woods just beyond fields and meadows, and the mountain within walking distance. Since the early 1700s, this remarkable family called and still calls “Craighead Station” Pennsylvania its “home,” even though many of its members settled elsewhere in the country. But they always return. In Tom Benjey’s engaging telling of the Craighead story through the centuries and generations, he focuses much of his attention on the generation of Craigheads we know best: that of the twins Frank Jr., John, and their sister Jean Craighead George; but he doesn’t neglect the earlier generations of Craighead naturalists either. Their father, Frank Sr., also an important scientist and naturalist—as well as aunts, uncles, and cousins who were important outdoorsmen and –women themselves—also get well-deserved attention, too. This is a book full of history and adventure, full of impressive achievement and inspiration, full of colorful characters and the enchantment of nature and the outdoors. The inspiring lives of the famous twins, known from their many publications, documentary films, and ground-breaking conservation efforts; as well as that of their award-winning sister, Jean Craighead George, are explored in rich detail. Benjey shines light on the impressive and important contributions the Craigheads have made to American history, conservation, education, and to the lives of those of us who have been inspired by their adventurous lives in, with, and for nature.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
