Description: (American Lawyer, Zoologist and Anthropologist)
Madison Grant was a complex figure, recognized for his roles as a conservationist, eugenicist, and writer. While his conservation work was notable, he is predominantly remembered for his contentious beliefs on race, emphasizing Nordicism and promoting the superiority of the "Nordic race." Grant's writings on race were influential and contributed to the development of immigration and anti-miscegenation laws in the United States. Additionally, he contributed to conservation efforts such as preserving the American bison and aiding in the creation of national parks and wildlife management strategies.
