Ted Trueblood (1913-1982) loved to write about the outdoors almost as much as he loved the outdoors itself.  Raised on a farm in southwestern Idaho, Trueblood made a living by writing and taking pictures of the things he liked to do best---hunting, fishing, camping, and cooking in the great outdoors. 

            From his home in Idaho, he contributed hundreds of articles to Field & Stream and other outdoor journals, edited several book-length anthologies of his work, and, as the years went by, played an ever-more influential role in the conservation and environmental movement in the American West. 

            The Ted Trueblood collection at Boise State University preserves the extraordinary literary and photographic legacy of a legendary outdoorsman and writer.
