Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Living History in the National Park System One of the most dramatic and popular aspects of National Park Service interpretation is a program called Living History. Not exactly new, but slowly evolving through the years, it is a demonstration of a historic feature of the park, and it has created a whole new field of activities for the interpreters; they have become specialists in skills and crafts long forgotten. For example, they may show the oper ation of the ironworks at Saugus, or a whisky still at Catoctin Mountain, or they may instruct moun tain climbers at Grand Teton. Some demonstrations deal with a single action or craft, such as firing an 18-century musket or weaving an Indian basket, while others illustrate the everyday life of a military camp, a farm, or a period home.

Therefore I have so presented my material that the miscalled, and, I verily believe, badly slandered average reader, may have his popular book by omitting the note on the Appreciation of Scenery, and the several notes explanatory of scenery which are interpolated between groups of chapters. If it is true, as I have been told, that the average reader would omit these anyway, because it is his habit to omit prefaces and notes of every kind, then nothing has been lost.

Look back over several millennia to learn about the progression of tents from animal skins, goat's hair, and heavy canvas to featherweight nylon.

Download or read book Creating the National Park Service written by Horace M. Albright and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two men played a crucial role in the creation and early history of the National Park Service: Stephen T. Mather, a public relations genius of sweeping vision, and Horace M. Albright, an able lawyer and administrator who helped transform that vision into reality. In Creating the National Park Service, Albright and his daughter, Marian Albright Schenck, reveal the previously untold story of the critical "missing years" in the history of the service. During this period, 1917 and 1918, Mather's problems with manic depression were kept hidden from public view, and Albright, his able and devoted assistant, served as acting director and assumed Mather's responsibilities. Albright played a decisive part in the passage of the National Park Service Organic Act of 1916; the formulation of principles and policies for management of the parks; the defense of the parks against exploitation by ranchers, lumber companies, and mining interests during World War I; and other issues crucial to the future of the fledgling park system. This authoritative behind-the-scenes history sheds light on the early days of the most popular of all federal agencies while painting a vivid picture of American life in the early twentieth century.
