extensive fieldwork ranged throughout the United States and Canada,
from Labrador to the Aleutian Islands, with special concentration

Service. He also served as director of the Wilderness Society for
many years. Murie lived in Moose, Wyoming. He was the author of The
Elk of North America and many articles on natural history.

North American research projects, from monitoring bears to
capturing cougars to inventorying carnivores in dry tropical
forests. He is working with Cybertracker Conservation in South
Africa to create the first North American evaluation for wildlife
trackers. Elbroch currently works as a wildlife consultant,
specializing in field inventories and identifying corridors, and

This enduring story of life, adventure, and love in Alaska was
written by a woman who embraced the remote Alaskan wilderness and
became one of its strongest advocates. In this moving testimonial
to the preservation of the Arctic wilderness, Mardy Murie writes
from her heart about growing up in Fairbanks, becoming the first
woman graduate of the University of Alaska, and marrying noted
biologist Olaus J. Murie. So begins her lifelong journey in Alaska
and on to Jackson Hole, Wyoming where along with her husband and
others, they founded The Wilderness Society. Mardy's work as one of
the earliest female voices for the wilderness movement earned her
the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
