About this person
Donald Culross Peattie was an American botanist, naturalist and author. He was described by Joseph Wood Krutch as "perhaps the most widely read of all contemporary American nature writers" during his heyday. His brother, Roderick Peattie (1891-1955), was a geographer and a noted author in his own right. Peattie regarded people of sub-Saharan African lineage as an inferior people. In an effort to mitigate his brother's racism, Roderick Peattie described his brother's published anti-Black statements as "mercifully brief and hardly malicious".
