Thank you, Keith. These are excellent recommendations. My recent surfing keeps turning up wonderful Olson quotations.

In keeping with the purpose of this article, I located the online text for Sigurd F. Olson's speech, The meaning of wilderness, presented to the Utah Academy of Sciences at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, in May 1958. It is located on an excellent site devoted to Olson, which not only presents an overview of his life and work, and weekly quotes, but also monthly features of unpublished Olson texts. The Sigurd F. Olson Web Site is definitely worth exploring and visiting regularly.

My quick Internet search failed to turn up any online texts by the other writer you suggested. This Edwin Way Teale page provides a biography and highlights from several of his major works. I would like to publish here a link to a more comprehensive site, and particularly to a Web version of one of his writings, if you can refer me.

Thanks again.
