- In 1932, Hazel St. Germain Grange's husband, Wallace Grange, left a secure job with the U.S. Biological Survey in Washington, D.C., to pursue his dream to set up a commercial game farm in rural Wisconsin. She was ambivalent about the project at first, but eventually became a full partner in the work. Her book Live Arrival Guaranteed: A Sandhill Memoir, is an engrossing description of rural life during the 1930s and 1940s, and recounts the financial, social, physical, and professional difficulties of restoring and managing wildlife during and after the Great Depression. In 1961, Sandhill Game Farm became a crane and waterfowl sanctuary that memorializes the couple's pioneering efforts in the new science of environmentalism.

Live Arrival Guaranteed: A Sandhill Memoir par Hazel St. Germain Grange
In 1932, Wallace Strange left a secure government job in Washington, D.C., to set up a commercial game farm in rural Wisconsin. Ambivalent about the project at first, his wife, Hazel, eventually became a full partner in the work. Her account of the period 1932-1946 is an engrossing story of the pursuit of a dream and a penetrating glimpse of rural life during the Depression. They were dirt-poor, struggling just to survive. On the first farm, in Door County, they raised pheasants and ducks to sell to state conservation departments and hunting clubs. To augment their meager income, they trapped, sold and shipped snowshoe hares by the thousands. The second farm, in Woods County, was in an isolated, marshy area; there they raised deer and wildfowl. Wallace was a pioneer in game management, a friend of Adolph and Olas Murie, Aldo Leopold and Sigurd Olsen. This is a rewarding story for readers interested in wildlife and the environment.
