Forest Ranger Poetry >> By Jeff LaLande Ph.D., Rogue River - Siskiyou National Forest >> Presented at the annual conference of the American Society for Environmental History. >> The unvarnished poems that are the subject of this essay were composed by earlytwentieth-century Americans who focused both their careers and their poetic efforts on the natural environment. It is poetry (as most of its creators surely would have been the first to admit) that has little or no serious literary merit; much of it is mere doggerel. However, these often-homely rhymes and ballads do provide a useful avenue of investigation: a path to explore the broadly shared attitudes, self-image, and relation-with-Nature held by the United States’ first professional government conservationists, the rangers of the Forest Service. |
