A Population Study of the Prairie Vole (Microtus ochrogaster) in Northeastern Kansas
by Edwin Perry Martin
About the author
Available sources identify him as Edwin Perry Martin (1922–2006) and link him with scientific writing rather than mainstream literary work. Project Gutenberg lists him as the author of A Population Study of the Prairie Vole (Microtus ochrogaster) in Northeastern Kansas, a research work centered on vole populations and their habitat.
That surviving publication suggests a writer interested in patient observation, ecology, and mammalogy. Instead of broad popular science, his work appears to come from the tradition of careful field research, documenting how small mammals lived and changed over time in a specific landscape.
I wasn’t able to confirm many additional biographical details from strong, author-focused sources during this search, so this overview stays close to what could be verified from the available records.
