I enjoyed reading this, Adam. McConnell always seemed to be a grounded, logical, rational thinker. He was certainly passionate, but I admire the way he deployed his academic analysis and understanding of politics to the North Cascades issues. His letters to Brower and others clearly demonstrate his ability to see the big picture and diverse perspectives.
Thanks for this account, beautifully written. Particularly the phrase "a partisan of place" and the line, "When you love a place, you don't think much about odds."

Thanks, Lauren. I think I'll return to his academic work again and dive in a bit deeper. My curiosity has been piqued!
