Welcome Norman Dann back to the Great Swamp Conservancy, he is the author of several books on abolition and a steward of Gerrit Smith Estate National Historic Landmark.
In this presentation Norm will talk about ornithologist and naturalist, Greene Smith, son of Gerrit Smith. “The all-too-brief life of Greene Smith is a story of trials and triumphs. From his lifelong struggle to please a strict father, to his brush with death in the brutal Battle of the Crater during the Civil War, to his pioneering work in the preservation of hundreds of birds, Greene Smith walked a path few others could claim as a naturalist, an ornithologist, and an outdoorsman of the first order.”
