Summary: A moving and poignant testimony
Review: Deftly edited by David Backes, Spirit Of The North: The Quotable Sigurd F. Olson collects the words of wisdom and insights of conservation activist and writer Sigurd F. Olson (1899-1982) whose many honors include the highest possible from the Sierra Club, the National Wildlife Federation, and the Izaak Walton League. A moving and poignant testimony, Spirit Of The North is an impressively memorable and inspiring compendium of reflections upon the power and beauty of nature, and of man's duty to help preserve the natural world, the higher philosophical issues concerning who we are, and what truly has meaning in our lives. "Final victory always goes to those who keep fighting for a worthwhile ideal in spite of reverses."
