This study focuses on the Prairie Club of Illinois, one of the most influential environmental organizations in the United States. Originally formed as a hiking club, it has a strong regional focus and is especially concerned with protecting the Midwestern prairies, as well as the Indiana Dunes on Lake Michigan.
This work offers background information about the conditions in Chicago at the beginning of the twentieth century that led to the foundation of the Prairie Club. The development of this organization, the people who influenced it, its environmental efforts and current activities are described as well.
The Prairie Club of Illinois – Preserving the Natural Heritage of the American Midwest is complemented by a comprehensive “Who is Who?” list enumerating important personalities who influenced the Prairie Club and American society in general.
