WMI Celebrates Its Centennial with a Limited Edition of An American Crusade for Wildlife

To commemorate its 100th Anniversary, the Wildlife Management Institute has produced a new, numbered, limited-edition of the classic book An American Crusade for Wildlife by James B. Trefethen. The book is a Boone & Crockett Club title, but has been out of print for a number of years. Reprised by WMI with the Club's permission and solely for a limited-edition run of 500 copies, the book is being made available to persons who contribute $100 or more to the Institute's natural resource management programs.

An American Crusade for Wildlife is widely considered the most comprehensive history of wildlife in America and the emergence of conservation. Jim Trefethen, a Boone & Crockett Club member, was Director of Publications for the Wildlife Management Institute from 1951 to the date of his passing in 1976, a year after the book was first released.

The WMI edition features high quality production material, new dust jacket artwork by Dan Metz, and a commemorative preface by the WMI officers.

Persons wishing to make a donation of $100 or more to WMI, should make a check payable to: Wildlife Management Institute, and send it to 1440 Upper Bermudian Road, Gardners, PA 17324. An American Crusade for Wildlife (with a $50 fair market value) will be sent to the donor shortly thereafter.

WMI is a private, nonprofit, scientific and educational 501[c]3 organization. Donations to it are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.? Donors should consult with their tax advisors if there are any questions.
