Historical NoteReturn to Top

Shelly Grossman (1928-1975) was a commercial photographer, conservationist, and motion picture producer who worked together with his wife, Mary Louise, who did research and writing for their books and films. In 1967 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, they established Shoshoni Productions, Inc. through which they produced their documentary films such as "Black Coal, Red Power" which aired on PBS in 1972. This documentary examined coal strip mining on Indian reservations in northwest Arizona. With the assistance of John Hamlet, a Florida naturalist, they wrote "Birds of Prey of the World" (1964) and "Our Vanishing Wilderness". (1969) from which they produced a television series. Shelly Grossman contributed to the "Life Nature Library Series" and the American Heritage series "Guide to the United States", 1962-1964, and also wrote three juvenile books: "The Struggle for Life in the Animal World" (1967), "Understanding Ecology" (1970), and "How and Why Wonder Book of Ecology" (1971). The Grossmans had collected dried flowers in the United States and Europe and done research for a book, "Our Flowering World" when Shelly died unexpectedly before completing the work.
