[PDF]Article de Donna Love, Pathfinder, mai 2005, première partie, page 2: « Maclean later wrote that he went to work for the Forest Service “because I then thought I would enter the Forest Service as my life profession and so should be moving around seeing many different forests of the northwest.” He spent three summers working in the Bitterroot Mountains and one in the Kootenai National Forest. »
L'article de Donna Love (« In 1932, Maclean received his first of three Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching [...] in 1940, he received his second Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching ») et celui du Wikipedia anglo-saxon (« he was hired as a professor at University of Chicago, where he went on to receive three Quantrell Awards for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching », aucune source mentionnée pour cette information) mentionnent trois prix Quantrell; mais le site officiel http://www.uchicago.edu/about/accolades/quantrell.shtml précise que le prix n'a été accordé qu'à compter de 1938 et Norman Maclean est mentionné deux fois, en 1941 et en 1973.
