Ken Wolff discusses the work of Grounded Eagle Foundation, a non-profit in Swan Valley, Montana, devoted to the rescue and recovery of injured wild birds. He describes growing up in and around Western Montana, his ties to the landscape, and returning to Swan Valley after a number of years away. Wolff recalls serving in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War and the personal difficulties he suffered immediately following the war, such as unemployment, a divorce, and struggling with alcoholism. He talks about returning to Swan Valley in the late 1970s, where he rebuilt his life, largely by working to assist returning veterans, and later in 1983 when he became involved in bird rescue. ; https://scholarworks.umt.edu/upperswanvalley_oralhistory/1044/thumbnail.jpg

One of the fascinating and challenging aspects of Robert Paul Wolff's recent books is that he draws his radical, anarchosocialist conclusions from premises that are quite acceptable to the average nonradical, in a style that is free from flirtations with a higher logic. In this sense Marcuse and Wolff could not be further apart.
