From the Foreword by Peter Scott: "The life of Jack Miner (1865-1944) and his sanctuary for migratory water fowl is one of the world's most inspiring stories of man and nature. From humble origins and illiteracy, Jack Miner rose to beome an outstanding champion of conservation issues and a leader in the raising of public awareness of wildlife conservation."
From the d.j.: "Jack's success in luring this elusive waterfowl (Canada Geese) to his home, his pioneering bird-banding activities, and his thirty-year lecturing campaign across the length and breadth of North America gained him world-wide recognition and fame. The Jack Miner Migratory Bird sanctuary became an international landmark, and in 1947 the Canadian government formally recognized his contributions by establishing a National Wildlife Week to be observed every April in his memory."
