Witch bottles & Whitefish: Dave Grettler on Environmental History

Ken Blanchard Season 2 Episode 3

On this episode, I talk with Professor of History Dave Grettler about his once upon a time career in archeology and his favorite course: environmental history.  Dave explains why he's not walking around in the backwoods of Pennsylvania in a Warden's jacket nor spending his time looking for witch bottles and the jawbones of bears.  We discuss the environmental view in Genesis, the exchange of critters and creepers between Europe and the Americas, and spend some time considering the color of wolves in Yellowstone.  

The host and creator of Wolftrax is Professor of Government Kenneth Blanchard.
