Abstract
John Graves wrote that human beings do not deserve the bald eagle. Given our record on this planet it might also be said that we do not deserve the grizzly bear, the timber wolf, the snail darter, and the hundreds of other species that we have annihilated or would annihilate. What seems more evident is that they don't deserve us. Dorys Crow Grover has captured the essence of this in her penetrating work on John Graves.
