Wandering Through Winter

This is a "classic" of nature writing. I think for it's day it was very good. However it has not held up with time. It's not a bad book but no longer essential. It might be useful as a snapshot in time as the author surveys wildlife and people in America 60 years ago that he randomly encounters during a cross country road trip. He was part of the burgeoning environmental movement that would rather watch birds than kill them. That's all good but mainstream now, the battles today are more difficult than a simple change of perspective. I don't feel compelled to read the rest of the series, but I think one of these books is worth checking out because it so frequently pops up on book lists as important.

An interesting account of travelling the US in the 1950's and exploring natural areas. Not heavily detailed. Worthwhile reading.
