I learned of this man about 15 years ago while my elementary students learned about Wild Horse Annie. Our class adopted a horse every year and we studied Dayton Hyde’s writing. My husband and I eventually visited. It was one of the most magical, moving adventures we had. It’s on our list to do again. I’m looking forward to seeing the story of his life. What an important conservationist. One person can truly make a difference!
