Summary |
Gifford Pinchot and the First Foresters >> The Untold Story of the Brave Men and Women Who Launched the American Conservation Movement >> Bibi Gaston reprints 27 letters from early rangers (men and women) sent to Gifford Pinchot, the first Chief of the Forest Service in the late 1930s. Pinchot had requested the rangers sent their stories to him. Pinchot's request was "Above all, I want a picture of your work year by year, told in your own way and of the conditions under which it was done, the difficulties you had to face, the opposition or cooperation you met, and from whom, the friendly or hostile public sentiment at the time, and if it changed, what made it change. In fact, you cannot give me anything I will not be glad to have." >> Stories from the rangers are in the book: Earle H. Frothingham, Howard Drake, E. S. Kerby, William L. Hall, Bertha E. Adams, Shirley "CJ" Buck, Robert Harvey Abbey, A. O. Waha, Thornton T. Munger, Charles J. Van Zile, C. S. Tremewan, Alva von der Linde, Charles J. Bayer, Charles A. Scott, Francis Cuttle, Clarence E. Dunston, George A. Duthie, Elizabeth Flint, Cecil R. C. Reindorp, John Lowell, James W. Girard, A. G. Jackson, Henry Haefner, J. W. Nelson, Gertrude B. Olds, Allen Steele Peck, and Agnes V. Scannell |
