Shelton N. 1975. The Nature of Shenandoah: A Naturalist's Story of a Mountain Park. Natural History Handbook (unnumbered). National Park Service. Washington, DC
This publication is one of a series of handbooks explaining the natural history of scenic and scientific areas in the National Park System. From the publication preface: "This book is a natural history of Shenandoah National Park. It tells the story of plants, animals and men living on this particular piece of earth, not only as it exists now, but also as it has existed in the past. The geologic records show us that over the long term nature has wrought the most profound changes. Yet over the short term we and our ancestors have also shaped this landscape, for good and ill, and its future rests to an important degree in our hands. "
