Insightful,
By
This review is from: Wapiti Wilderness (Hardcover)
Delightful mix of authorship with suject matter alternating between chapters of ground-breaking elk research (by Olaus) and family life in a near wilderness (by Margaret). The Muries were just as dedicated game biologists studying elk in Wyoming as Olaus' brother Adolph was in Alaska as he dedicated his life to research on wolves for the National Geographic Society. (Adolph's work preceeded Farley Mowatt's writings and subsequent hit movie, "Never Cry Wolf" and provided invaluable background information.) Olaus pioneered the practice of feeding hay to the elk during difficult winters to keep the herds healthy. Margaret deserved some kind of medal for raising those kids under such trying, but ultimately rewarding, conditions.
