Crozier's memoir is not only an amusing account of rural life in Minnesota and neighboring states, but also a focused history of wildlife refuges in this country. Those of us who care about the survival of wild places will find this account inspiring and instructive. The section on the establishment of the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge is a significant tribute to the valiant efforts of Crozier and his volunteer compatriots--surely it gives impetus to those who might want to help out in some way. The obstacles impeding government agencies and their volunteers are also well observed, with useful tips for those considering similar projects. But it did freak me out to learn what country kids are up to when they think their parents aren't watching.
