A Connecticut Yankee Goes to Washington: Senator George P. McLean, Birdman of the Senate - Paperback
Description
by Will McLean Greeley (Author)
"Senator George P. McLean's crowning achievement was securing enduring legal protections for birds after a seven-year battle in the US Congress. This is the inspiring story of how adversity plays a vital role in growth and greatness, and recounts how an obscure Connecticut farm boy became one of the nation's most effective environmental conservationists. Passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 stopped the senseless killing of birds and likely prevented the extinction of entire bird species. This full-scale biography invites readers into the life and personality of one of Connecticut's most influential and revered political leaders. McLean's forty-five year career is a window to a fascinating time of growth and change in American history"--
