Autorenporträt

Mack Van Allen is a retired high school social studies teacher. Most of his career was spent at Centerville High School in Centerville, Ohio. Mack was co-founder of Eagle & Hawk Wilderness Adventures. The company ran wilderness canoe trips for high school students in the Quetico-Superior wilderness for twenty-five years. As a result, he is intimately familiar BWCAW and the southern part of Quetico Provincial Park. Mack has also traveled in several other wilderness areas in the National Wilderness Preservation System in the United States. Mack holds an advanced degree in Environmental Studies from Miami University and he participated in the creation of one of the first high school interdisciplinary environmental class in the country. In addition, he holds an Outdoors Educator certificate from the National Outdoors Leadership School. Quetico-Superior: a Short History and Other Stories is Mack's first published work. The project was started forty years ago, and a current mining controversy on land adjacent to this canoe country wilderness is the reason for him completing the project now. It is his hope that the book will encourage readers to add their voice to the fight to protect wild lands for both present and future generations.
