Synopsis

A beautifully-written history of the hidden side of the early conservation movement. It describes the creation of three great National Parks--the Adirondacks, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon--and the reactions of the people living on those lands, whose ordinary activities, like hunting, wood-gathering, and fishing, suddenly became crimes against nature.
