Unfortunately, true, they did. She was one of the greatest Americans in US history.
@Dave Clark I lived in New Jersey as a kid for awhile in the 60s and they would come around in the evening with trucks and spray DDT, while we were outside playing. Wonder how much that f**ked my health up?! I'm lucky my son doesn't have fins for arms.
Rachel Carson was trying to shake sense into industry leaders then with, "Silent Spring."
They mocked her as a hysterical woman. Yeah right! Our eagles are just now starting to come back because the DDT made their egg's shells so thin they'd crack before the babies were born.
