Taken with crude equipment, the black-and- white photographs featured leaping whitetail deer, a beaver gnawing on a tree, and a snowy owl perched along the shore of a lake in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The pictures, stunning in detail and composition, celebrated American wildlife at a time when many species were going extinct because of habitat loss and unrestrained hunting. As a congressman and lawyer, Shiras joined forces with his friend Theodore Roosevelt, and scientists in Washington, D.C. who shaped the conservation movement during the Progressive Era. His legal and legislative efforts culminated with the passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Camera Hunter recounts Shiras's life and craft as he traveled to wild country in North America, refined his trail camera techniques, and advocated for the protection of wildlife. This biography serves as an important record of Shiras's accomplishments as a visual artist, wildlife conservationist, adventurer, and legislator"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 07, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Shiras, George,|d1859-1942.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no00082597 600 17 Shiras, George,|d1859-1942.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/454267 610 10 United States.|bCongress.|bHouse|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79107874|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 610 17 United States.|bCongress.|bHouse.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/536930 650 0 Legislators|zUnited States|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2008106857 650 0 Wildlife photographers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002007763|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Wildlife conservationists|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh92000940|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 7 Legislators.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/995828 650 7 Wildlife photographers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1175380 650 7 Wildlife conservationists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1175296 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMcCommons, James, 1957-|tCamera hunter. |dAlbuquerque : University of New Mexico Press, 2019 |z9780826354266|w(DLC) 2019013027 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2155081|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
