Ecology of the Opossum on a Natural Area in Northeastern Kansas

by Henry S. (Henry Sheldon) Fitch, Lewis L. Sandidge

About the author

Lewis L. Sandidge is credited as the coauthor, with Henry S. Fitch, of Ecology of the Opossum on a Natural Area in Northeastern Kansas. The work studies the habits, range, food, and seasonal behavior of opossums on the University of Kansas Natural History Reservation, and it has continued to circulate through public-domain and library archives.

Available records tied to that publication show him working on careful, observation-based natural history rather than popular nature writing. The book's lasting appeal comes from its straightforward style and close attention to how animals actually live in a specific landscape.

Reliable biographical detail about his wider life and career is limited in the sources I could confirm here, so this overview focuses on the published work that can be clearly attributed to him.
