Description ▲
Ernest 'Ober' Oberholtzer (1884-1977) is one of the great unsung heroes of the American conservation movement of the twentieth century. This book documents and explores the life of the man who led the fight to save the area that eventually became Voyageurs National Park and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and the successful effort to preserve Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario as a protected wilderness area.
