Loss Of Species
Personal memory by Glenn Hunt
1964 • Hartford County, IN, USA
Indiana, the lowest point culturally, in the United States has had more species subtracted from its ecological confines of its boundaries than any other state in the USA. As a child, I could walk through the Limberlost and scoop up dozens of garter snakes from the wetlands, look at them, some biting, some halcyon, all friends and adapted, and now it is all gone.
