Tom Benjey presents and signs copies of his new book, Glorious Times: Adventures of the Craighead Naturalists.
Glorious Times tells the fascinating and important story of the Craighead naturalists, an American clan of Scots-Irish that settled in the early 1700s in Pennsylvania. From this clan came an astonishing number of exceptional people, many of whom dedicated their lives to nature and conservation. Whether it was saving the grizzlies in Yellowstone Park, writing the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, or receiving a Newbery Award, this was a family of remarkable “doers,” perhaps bestunderstood when looked at collectively.
