Who was Rachel Carson? • She was born to a fairly poor family on May 27, 1907. • From a young age, she had a kinship with animals and nature. • She would take nature walks with her mother, who never taught her to memorize the names of plants and creatures. “When you see creatures in the places they live,” she would say, “watch them as they go about their lives. Then their names will have meaning.”
Younger Years • At a young age, her family moved to a farm near Pittsburgh, PA, ironically one of the most polluted cities in the U.S. at the time.
