Thanks for the information. One of the things I’d have liked to know more about was what other land conservation efforts might have influenced Charles Eliot. Not a lot was going on either in the U.S. or elsewhere in the world, and his idea was a big step beyond anything else, but learning what was going on, based on his knowledge would be valuable. So, of course, would be his own view of the development of the Trustees, to supplement his father’s version.

Please do tell me more about the scapbook. Your link didn’t work for me, so please send more information via another comment. If something could be better transmitted through the mail, anything sent to me at Dept. of Biological Sciences, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo MI 49008 would reach me.
