Witch bottles & Whitefish: Dave Grettler on Environmental History

On this episode, I talk with Professor of History Dave Grettler about his once upon a time career in archeology and his favorite course: environmental history.  Dave explains why he's not walking around in the backwoods of Pennsylvania in a Warden's jacket nor spending his time looking for witch bottles and the jawbones of bears.  We discuss the environmental view in Genesis, the exchange of critters and creepers between Europe and the Americas, and spend some time considering the color of wolves in Yellowstone.  The creator of more recent Wolftrax episodes is Dr. Kristen Brown, assistant professor of English at Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota. Older (and forthcoming) content consisting of faculty interviews comes from Professor Emeritus Ken Blanchard, the original creator of Wolftrax.
