Samuel Arthur Campbell (August 1, 1895 – April 13, 1962) was an American nature writer, sometimes known as the "Philosopher of the Forest". [1] He wrote for children and adults, and lectured widely.
Campbell was born on August 1, 1895, in Watseka, Illinois, [2] the youngest of two children of Arthur J. and Katherine "Kittie" (née Lyman) Campbell. He married Virginia ("Giny") Adams on June 10, 1941. [3] Among his friends was environmentalist Sigurd F. Olson. [4] Campbell contributed an article to the inaugural issue of Olson's magazine North Country in spring 1951. [5]
Campbell died April 13, 1962, [2] in Barrington, Illinois. [6] A trail near his home in Three Lakes, located in the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, is named after him. [7] [8] [9]
Campbell was a writer, lecturer, photographer, and filmmaker. [5] [10]
From 1934 to 1958, he lectured on behalf of the Chicago and North Western Railway, which sought to promote its lines as a means for vacationers to visit attractions in northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. [11]
He studied wild animals from his home in Three Lakes, Wisconsin, which he called the "sanctuary of Wegimind"—reportedly after an Ojibwe word for "mother" [12]—and during his various travels. He had visited the Three Lakes area from boyhood. [7]
