Letters from the Sanctuary - The Sam Campbell Story

In the 1890's, the decade in which Sam Campbell was born, the great American West was considered "closed": there was nothing more to explore or discover. A few early voices encouraged conserving, preserving, and cherishing the natural resources and beauty instead of expoiting it, lest it disappear forever. Sam Campbell was one of those early voices, He knew the value of the land, trees, and animals we share our world with.

From his summer home on an island he documented the peaceful life of his animal and human companions, sharing these stories on film, in books, and in lectures. This biography invites you to share the timeless ways of thinking and peace Sam experienced at his Sanctuary of Wegimind.
