It is my life.” The effects of her life are still enriching Louisiana: her paintings of wildflowers, her iris hybrids in cultivation, her books, the existence of Kisatchie National Forest, her home that is now Briarwood Nature Preserve, and her pioneering women’s participation in government, in the US Forestry Department and the De Soto Commission. Hardback book in Like New condition in Good dustjacket. Book is bright, clean, tightly bound, and the pages are crisp, with no writing except author’s inscription on front flyleaf.
