In , Leopold’s writing took a distinctively poetic turn as he began compiling his literary masterpiece A Sand County Almanac, which was informed by his developing philosophies and the family’s effort to transform the landscape surrounding their Shack near Baraboo, Wisconsin. Leopold spent the next 11 years crafting the essays that inspired readers to understand how the natural world worked and to care for all wild things. Summary. Analysis. The Round River was a fabled Wisconsin river, described in folktales, which was said to flow in a circle. Leopold explains that this was a parable, and the state of Wisconsin is itself a round river, a loop of energy, a circle of life. Leopold extends this metaphor, describing economics as being similar to riding on logs floating on the river, and national planning as being similar to the urge to control every log floating in the river at once.
