In the last episode of History’s Forgotten, seniors Maddie Moats, Caroline Wilburn and junior Christi Norris discuss the life and achievements of Rachel Carson. Born in Pennsylvania, Carson grew up with a love for nature that she carried with her throughout her life. After earning her degree, she was hired by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries to write radio scripts during the Great Depression. Throughout her life she published many pieces that encouraged others to appreciate nature's beauty. Despite losing her battle to breast cancer, Carson's work left a legacy  in both the science and literary world.
