Although Sam Campbell was not an Adventist, he was virtually adopted into the community in the northern United States, where his books and film tours celebrating nature were in high demand. For example, he made roughly twenty film tour stops at Andrews University in the 1950s and 60s, and his Living Forest book series was available in Adventist Book Centers from coast to coast.
