Glorious Times: Adventures of the Craighead Naturalists Book Cover

Glorious Times… tells the fascinating story of an American clan of Scots-Irish origin that settled in and near the South Mountain “Cradle of Conservation” close to nature. The inspiring lives of the famous twins, known from their many publications, documentary films, and ground-breaking conservation efforts; as well as that of their award-winning sister, Jean Craighead George, are explored in rich detail. Benjey shines light on the impressive and important contributions the Craigheads have made to American history, conservation, education, and to the lives of those of us who have been inspired by their adventurous lives in, with, and for nature. In this engaging telling of the Craighead story through the centuries and generations, he focuses much of his attention on the twins Frank Jr., John, and their sister Jean Craighead George; but he doesn’t neglect the earlier generations of Craighead naturalists either. Their father, Frank Sr., was also an important scientist and naturalist.
