This charming children's book tells the tale of an extraordinary
family's efforts to restore a worn-out Wisconsin farm during the
Depression and the 1940s. Noted conservationist Aldo Leopold -
along with his wife, Estella, and their five children and two dogs
- spent most weekends and vacations living and working at the Sand
County farm they called the Shack, which is now a national historic
landmark. Leopold's time there led to his foundational work of
environmental writing, "A Sand County Almanac", which was based on
the scientific observations recorded in his family's "Shack
journals." Drawing from these journals, historic family
photographs, and interviews, and writing from the perspective of
Leopold's daughter Nina, Nancy Nye Hunt captures here the spirit of
this famous family's experiences on the land.
