Series: 9/25/10-3: County, State, and Foreign Files
View digitized contents of this series. Mr. Leopold apparently set up the County, State, and Foreign Files when he began his
game surveys for the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) in
1928. Since the surveys were originally intended to cover the entire country, he began
filing clippings on game matters from newspapers, state conservation bulletins, and the
DuPont Conservation News ; digests of and extracts from
books and articles he had read; maps, data, reports, and other materials, all designated
miscellaneous. He also used the miscellaneous files to store extra outline maps, most of
which have been removed. The correspondence in these files is of about equal bulk with the miscellaneous
materials for each state, and includes letters to and from cooperators of the survey,
officials of SAAMI and its Committee on Restoration and Protection of Game (especially
Stewart Commeaux, John M. Olin, Elliott C. Dill, and L. W. T. Waller, Jr.), and other
friends. It concerns game matters, potential game surveys, and conservation issues in
the various states. The files contain additional correspondence and data for states
actually surveyed by Mr. Leopold -- Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. SAAMI game research fellowships are the
subject of correspondence with David Gorsuch in Arizona (quail), R. E. Yeatter in
Michigan (ring-necked pheasant and Hungarian partridge), and Ralph King in Minnesota
(ruffed grouse and cycles). Materials relating to Paul Errington's fellowship at the
University of Wisconsin (quail) are not found in this series, but there is some material
in the Bobwhite folder (9/25/10-4 002 004). Some correspondence describes private consulting by Mr. Leopold in the period between
the termination of his support by SAAMI in early 1932 and his faculty appointment in
August 1933, but after 1933 materials in the state files begin diminishing gradually to
about 1940. The Wisconsin files, arranged by county, contain correspondence and notes, reports,
maps, reprints, clippings, and other materials on wildlife history and game management,
gathered mostly during the game survey and the early years of Mr. Leopold's faculty
position, about 1929-1939. Some folders contain plat books, land economic inventory
maps, wildlife management plans by Mr. Leopold and others, student papers on various
areas, and consulting reports. The foreign files contain correspondence and articles from about 1930-1940 on wildlife
and conservation philosophy. Arrangement of folders is alphabetical by county (Wisconsin), state, or country.
Material within folders is arranged chronologically. Little or no description of the
contents is available for most folders. Empty folders have been noted.
