Rachel Carson
Always, Rachel
The Letters of Rachel Carson and Dorothy Freeman, 1952-1964
Ebook (EPUB Format)
These letters between the pioneering environmentalist and her beloved friend reveal a vibrant, caring woman behind the scientist (Los Angeles Times). Rachel Carson, author of The Silent Spring, has been celebrated as the pioneer of the modern environmental movement. Although she wrote no autobiography, she did leave letters, and those she exchanged-sometimes daily-with Dorothy Freeman, some 750 of which are collected here, are perhaps more satisfying than an account of her own life.

These letters between the pioneering environmentalist and her beloved friend reveal a vibrant, caring woman behind the scientist (Los Angeles Times). Rachel Carson, author of The Silent Spring, has been celebrated as the pioneer of the modern environmental movement. Although she wrote no autobiography, she did leave letters, and those she exchanged-sometimes daily-with Dorothy Freeman, some 750 of which are collected here, are perhaps more satisfying than an account of her own life. In 1953, Carson became Freeman's summer neighbor on Southport Island, ME. The two discovered a shared love for the natural world-their descriptions of the arrival of spring or the song of a hermit thrush are lyrical-but their friendship quickly blossomed, as each realized she had found in the other a kindred spirit. To read this collection is like eavesdropping on an extended conversation that mixes the mundane events of the two women's family lives with details of Carson's research and writing and, later, her breast cancer. . . . Few who read these letters will forget these remarkable women and their even more remarkable bond. -Publishers Weekly Darting, fresh, sensuous, pleasingly elliptical at times, these letters also serve to tether the increasingly deified Carson firmly to earth-just where she'd want to be. -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) It is not often that a collection of letters reveals character, emotional depth, personality, indeed intellect and talent, as well as a full biography might; these letters do all that. -The New York Times Book Review Provides insight into the creative process and a look into the daily lives of two intelligent, perceptive women whose family responsibilities were, at times, almost crushing. -Library Journal Dotted with vivid observations of the natural world and perceptive commentary on friendship, family, fame, and life itself, Always, Rachel will appeal to readers interested in biography and women's studies as well as those drawn to nature writing and the history of the environmental movement. -Booklist Online
