Three New Beavers from Utah

Three New Beavers from Utah

by Harold S. Crane, Stephen David Durrant

About the author

Harold S. Crane appears in the historical record as a natural-history writer associated with Utah wildlife studies. He is credited as co-author, with Stephen David Durrant, of Three New Beavers from Utah, a scientific work first published in 1948 that examines variation among Utah beavers and describes three newly named subspecies.

Book catalogs and library listings also connect him with Fishes of Utah, suggesting a broader interest in the fauna of the region. Taken together, the available sources present him less as a literary figure than as a field-minded researcher whose writing focused on careful description and classification.

Reliable biographical details about his personal life were limited in the sources I could confirm, so this overview stays close to the published record of his work.
