“The efforts of the Muries to develop and promote an ethical outlook toward wildlife were equally as important and influential as their scientific studies,” Rumm said. “It’s an outlook grounded in ecology, but informed by a sense of wonder and appreciation.”
His presentation explores how the work and legacies of the Muries helped shape the modern environmental movement.
Rumm is the director of the Curatorial Division and curator of public history at the Center of the West. He previously served as the curator of the Buffalo Bill Museum and editor-in-chief of the Papers of William F. Cody.
