Kelby Ouchley was a biologist and manager of national wildlife refuges for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for more than thirty years. He and his wife Amy live in the woods near Rocky Branch, Louisiana, in a cypress house surrounded by white oaks and black hickories.
In addition to the natural history material, this volume provides engaging environmental, economic, social, and cultural insights into the lives of the soldiers of this war. Highly recommended. -P. D. Thomas, emeritus, Wichita State University
