Louis F. Henderson (1853-1942)
The Grand Old Man of Northwest Botany

Botanist Louis Henderson was a larger-than-life figure in the mold of John Muir. Possessed of great physical strength and stamina, he energetically explored the mountains, deserts, forests, and seacoasts of the Northwest for 65 years, adding greatly to our knowledge of the flora. LFH was also a writer, raconteur, and mountain-climber, as well as a conscientious family man. This unique biography, meticulously documented and lavishly illustrated, includes 56 images, chronology, publication list, and list of taxa named for LFH.
