Shoemaker dedicated most of his energy to environmental conservation and considered folklore associated with the endangered landscape deserving of preservation along with the state’s forests and wildlife. His goal for his writings was to show the legacy of legends for landscape features such as trees, animals, caves and caverns, rivers and mountains by making people relaxing the spiritual narratives associated with environment he hoped to make them more respectful and conservation-minded.
