Excerpt from Picturing Miracles of Plant and Animal LifeTo us, who standing by, have watched Arthur C. Pillsbury's career, the element of adventurous achievement has always been well in the forefront of our observation. Whether, as in its early unfold ing, it took him ¿oating alone in his Peterboro canoe, through seemingly endless days and nights down the dark and sullen reaches of the Yukon, or skittering over ¿ashing crests of its Rapids - ¿oating airily in a tiny silken white balloon over San Fran cisco Bay - wrestling with the angels and the Power of Darkness inherent in the muck and slime of a tide marsh landing, but always saving his precious films or of many weary miles and days in mountains and plains, gathering thousands of picture impressions of the power and glory which is theirs - of days and years of patient laboratory exploitation through the keen, undeviating eyes of his microscopes and cam eras, to bring us his progressive interpretation of many of Nature's beautiful and so nearly hidden ways of the fulfilling of Her design - as his life's work goes out through consciousness, so this record of it is for all who care to know and remember.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
