Edwin Way Teale was an American naturalist, photographer, and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer. Teale's works serve as primary source material documenting environmental conditions across North America from 1930 - 1980. He is perhaps best known for his series The American Seasons, four books documenting over 75,000 miles (121,000 km) of automobile travel across North America following the changing seasons.
An interesting anthology of writing that were favorites of Teale, who was the Editor. Most were really good and introduced me to a few more authors I might want to be on the look for!
