Publisher's Synopsis
Naturalist Edwin Way Teale, 1899-1980, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1966 for his book of travels across America Wandering Through Winter. Teale thus became the only naturalist ever to receive that prize, which his publishers regarded as actually for all four of his books that he wrote on the seasons in which he and his wife Nellie travelled across America. The author, Millard C. Davis, a former president of the American Nature Study Society and the New Jersey Audubon Wildlife Society, considers Teale as having produced perhaps the most musical writing on nature in Western literature. Davis ends this book on Teale with a long section from days of interviewing Nellie and some of Teale's closest friends. Then he concludes: And so it all ends more or less in the place where it began.
