The National Parks: Saving America's ...
Description
R.J. Lindsey offers a compelling portrayal of Stephen T. Mather, founding director of the NPS. He will tell the dramatic story of saving the parks from congressional neglect, ruthless loggers and greedy developers. During his tenure, the park system nearly doubled in size and more Americans visited than ever before. Director Mather tells this story with stunning photographs of the park lands and wildlife he fought to save.
