The Wisconsin DNR naturalist at Devils Lake State Park for 30 years, Ken Lange relates his love affair with the land and people of the Baraboo Hills and Sauk Prairie Region. A Naturalist's Journey describes the bountiful wildlife, plants and landforms of this area, with focus on Lange's favorites, such as the eastern white pine, talus rock and the Steinke basin. This book is a treat for anyone who has ever taken a silent walk through the woods. Not to be forgotten are Lange's accounts of the bachelor farmers, farm hands, the singing bowler, and other free spirits that the author met while enjoying the always good soup at John's Coffee Shop in Baraboo. 6 x 9, soft cover, 224 pages, 118 black and white photos and art.
