Samuel Arthur Campbell (August 1, 1895 – April 13, 1962) was an American nature writer, sometimes known as the "Philosopher of the Forest".
[4] Campbell contributed an article to the inaugural issue of Olson's magazine North Country in spring 1951.
[6] A trail near his home in Three Lakes, located in the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, is named after him.
[5][10] From 1934 to 1958, he lectured on behalf of the Chicago and North Western Railway, which sought to promote its lines as a means for vacationers to visit attractions in northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
[11] He studied wild animals from his home in Three Lakes, Wisconsin, which he called the "sanctuary of Wegimind"—reportedly after an Ojibwe word for "mother"[12]—and during his various travels.
