It’s with deeply conflicted emotions that I announce StevenHiggs.com is offering pre-orders of our latest book Andy Mahler and the Hoosier National: The Folk Hero and the Forest He Loves.
Andy passed away on Aug. 30, 2025, two days before the 130-page product of our 15-month collaboration was ready for the printer. He did, however, gleefully embrace a copy of the second draft two weeks before he died.
The 8.5×11, full color coffee table book is intended to spread the word about the equally remarkable stories of Andy’s life and his career as a forest activist. The journey begins with his family’s escape from Nazi Austria in 1938 and ends 87 years later with his passing at his home in the middle of the Hoosier National Forest.
Copies will retail for $45. Pre-orders are discounted to $35.
The book will be sent to the printer on Sept. 2. Pre-orders should be delivered by Oct. 1.
