Longtime syndicated Chicago Tribune columnist John Husar knew
enough about nature to appreciate both its simplicity and its
mystery. He knew more than enough about the outdoors to enjoy and
protect it. John approached every assignment with the zeal of his
grandsons learning how to fish for the first time. A Voice in Our
Wilderness reflects John's insatiable appetite for good stories. He
takes readers on an intimate tour of the Midwestern land-scape and
beyond while explaining that there is nobility in hunting of
fishing if you indeed eat the creature you are killing. This book
reflects John Husar's penchant to back up his opinions with action.
He doesn't just tell readers that crow or prairie dog make good
eating--he explains the best way to prepare it. When John urges
readers to get involved in saving our environment, there are plenty
of credentials in his quiver. He championed the bike and hiking
trails of the Illinois & Michigan Canal and his columns helped
convert 32,000 acres of army land into open spaces and tall-grass
prairie. A Voice in Our Wilderness is organized by how a day
unfolds, from morning's first light to the ghost stories we might
tell around a campfire. John Husar never fretted away a moment of
those days, and didn't even feel sorry for himself when his liver
began to fail. He always focused on enjoying life's wonders,
especially nature. John Husar's laugh and zest were contagious. So
is the spirit of the timeless writings in this book's collection.
