A rare signed First Edition in collector's condition. It is one of 500 of a limited issue (although it is not numbered). Robert Sparks Walker was one of Tennessee¿s leading naturalists and historians. Mr. Walker wrote many books, including State Flowers and State Birds, As the Indians Left It, Lookout: The Story of a Mountain, and Torchlight to the Cherokees, published by the MacMillan Company, which was nominated in 1931 for a Pulitzer Prize. His articles and poems also appeared in over six hundred newspapers and magazines for several decades, including the New York Times, Better Homes and Gardens, the Christian Science Monitor, and Nature Magazine. Mr. Walker once estimated that he sold over 1000 poems and 500 articles, mostly on nature themes.

In 1944 Mr. Walker helped found a local Audubon Society which was named the Robert Sparks Walker Audubon Society, but later was renamed to the Chattanooga Audubon Society at Mr. Walker¿s request. He was also president of the Tennessee State Horticultural Society and a life member of the Tennessee Academy of Science.
