Kirk Munroe was a well-traveled writer and journalist who was born in Wisconsin, educated in Massachusetts, began his career in New York City, and finally settled in Florida. Once there, Munroe's proximity to Cuba likely influenced the point of view he employs in "Forward, March", a large part of which details the efforts of an American agent in Cuba during the war. Kirk Munroe (September 15, 1850 – June 16, 1930) was an American writer and conservationist. Born Charles Kirk Munroe in a log cab near Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, Munroe was the son of Charles and Susan (Hall) Munroe. His youth was spent on the frontier, after which his family moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts where he attended school until he was sixteen. He publicly dropped "Charles" from his name in 1883. In 1876, Kirk Munroe was hired as a reporter for the New York Sun. Three years later he became the first editor of Harper's Young People magazine; he resigned in 1881. From 1879 to 1884, he was the commodore of New York Canoe club. During this time he helped found the League of American Wheelmen with Charles E. Pratt on May 31, 1880. Munroe was the Wheelmen's first Commander.

In "Wakulla," Kirk Munroe masterfully intertwines vivid natural descriptions and a compelling narrative to explore the delicate balance between humanity and the environment. Set in the stunning backdrop of Florida's unspoiled landscapes, the book delves into themes of adventure, conservation, and the spiritual connection between people and nature.

Munroe's background as a naturalist and his engagement with various conservation efforts provide a rich context that underpins the narrative, allowing him to address significant ecological themes through the lens of engaging storytelling. I highly recommend "Wakulla" to readers who seek not only a captivating tale of adventure but also an insightful reflection on our relationship with nature. Munroe'Äôs eloquence and clarity of thought illuminate the urgency of conservation, making this book a crucial read for anyone invested in understanding the intricate ties between humanity and the environment.
