Description: In this book, Frosty Anderson describes the development of fifteen NAS sanctuaries from Maine to California and from the Texas coast to North Dakota. This book drawn from the NAS newsletter, describes an era in conservation history in which ordinary people, without benefit of Ph. D.'s, became stewards of the habitats in which they had lived all their lives. This is a story worth preserving, and it's told entertainingly here by the man who knew it best.
