Book excerpt: The lakes and landscape of Glacier National Park in Montana are celebrated and detailed in this outstanding guidebook, first published in 1912 by John Morton Elrod with the oversight of the U.S. Dept. of the Interior. This edition includes photographs of the lakes described. All of the major bodies of water which comprise the Glacier National Park receive due mention in this handbook. The author was a professional surveyor who was tasked with discovering whether the lakes were suitable for the collection of the microscopic life which comprises fish food. Elrod's study, which occurred between 1909 and 1911, resulted in his creating an impressive narration of each lake and its properties. Although this book is somewhat dated to its time, describing technologies which are now obsolete, the overarching analysis of the National Park remains relevant and grounded in the author's long experiences. The water temperatures, distances between each lake and the next, and the various streams and rivulets which run into and between these are mentioned, while the topography and qualities of the surrounding lands receive consistent examination. Overall, Elrod's study remains a worthwhile and informative historical read, and a worthy handbook for those who are familiar with, or wish to explore, Glacier National Park.

Download or read book Montana s Pioneer Naturalist written by George M. Dennison and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-09-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A naturalist on Montana’s academic frontier, passionate conservationist Morton J. Elrod was instrumental in establishing the Department of Biology at the University of Montana, as well as Glacier National Park and the National Bison Range. In Montana’s Pioneer Naturalist, the first in-depth assessment of Elrod’s career, George M. Dennison reveals how one man helped to shape the scholarly study of nature and its institutionalization in the West at the turn of the century. Elrod moved to Missoula in 1897, just four years after the state university’s founding, and participated in virtually every aspect of university life for almost forty years. To reveal the depths of this pioneer scientist’s influence on the growth of his university, his state, and the academic fields he worked in, author George M. Dennison delves into state and university archives, including Elrod’s personal papers. Although Elrod was an active participant in bison conservation and the growth of the National Park Naturalist Service, much of his work focused on Flathead Lake, where he surveyed local life forms and initiated the university’s biological station—one of the first of its kind in the United States. Yet at heart Elrod was an educator who desired to foster in his students a “love of nature,” which, he said, “should give health to any one, and supply knowledge of greatest value, either to the individual or to society, or to both.” In this biography of a prominent scientist now almost forgotten, Dennison—longtime president of the University of Montana—demonstrates how Elrod’s scholarship and philosophy regarding science and nature made him one of Montana’s most distinguished naturalists, conservationists, and educators.
