Thanks to Bob Marshall (1901-1939) there are still places in America where people can listen to the wind in the trees, scramble up a mountain, and perhaps spot a grizzly cub (or two). Born into a German-Jewish family in NYC, Bob developed an appreciation for wilderness through his Adirondack summers. He changed racist policies barring Jews and Blacks from some National Forest facilities, protected wilderness from becoming highways and railways, started the Adirondack 46’ers, and The Wilderness Society.. This beautifully illustrated children's book follows Bob's journey from outdoor-loving child to wilderness champion.
