I am so excited to have received a copy of Harold Kruse's third book, "Dear Editor: Opinions and Comments From a Farmer-Naturalist's Viewpoint Plus Other Sketches From Past and Present".
When he first began putting it together, I was a bit of an assistant by typing and printing his letters to the editor, doing the same with pages for the book, and with whatever else he needed help. Harold also asked to use some of my photos. There are other, more beautiful photos in the book, including some by his daughter, Gretchen, as well as Steve Meyer (www.stevesmeyer.com) and Mike Bailey (www.mhbailey.com).
In the past I have attempted to describe Harold -- how amazing, innovative, and important he is to the conservation of Wisconsin and land everywhere. (Gretchen, if you see this, your dad needs a wiki!)
All that I can do is to suggest that you purchase this book and, if you're lucky, some of his past editions may also be available. He does not have an online store, but you can read his local "birding by car" guide HERE, at The Nature Conservancy's website. Additionally, you can view one of his more recent editorials HERE.
The following are places where you may be able to purchase this book, past editions, or lament over the fact that they might have all been sold and thus suggest that more copies be printed:
