Description

The “World of George Perkins Marsh” portrays the life of this extraordinary public servant, lawyer, linguist, congressman, and diplomat. Of his many distinguished accomplishments, his pioneering work “Man and Nature” was the first book to acknowledge the consequences of man as an agent of environmental damage; it reflected Marsh’s observations of his native Woodstock, Vermont, and his extensive travels in Europe and the Middle East – illustrated in the book with rare drawings and photographs. ©The Woodstock Foundation, Inc.
