From the Back Cover
'A fascinating and charming presentation of our earliest American expressions of appreciation for the natural scene, wild and unmodified by man....an account of the development of this appreciation and its practical application in programs to protect such areas from exploitation and development.'--nature. 'A valuable reference work for the (reader) seeking to balance a history of wars, politics, and heroic explorations with a history of ideas and a growing environmental awareness and conscience. It is an important book.'--Journal of Environmental Education.
