Life edit

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]

Writing and lectures edit

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]
