Download or read book National Monuments as Wild Life Sanctuaries written by T. S. Palmer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Monuments as Wild-Life Sanctuaries: Address Delivered at the National Parks Conference at Washington, D. C., January 4, 1917 Much has been written and many photographs have been published illustrating the wild life in the national parks. The bears, the buffalo, and the elk of the Yellowstone are as closely associated with this park as are the hot springs or geysers. The mountain sheep is almost as closely associated with the Rocky Mountain Park or the mountain goat with the Mount Rainier or the Glacier Park as are waterfalls with Yosemite or the big trees with the Sequoia Park. Of national parks there are now 16 and of national monuments 21 in charge of the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior. In addition, there are 11 national monuments on national forests in charge of the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture, and 2 national monuments under the jurisdiction of the War Department. Of these 50 reservations, the 34 monuments have a combined area of about 1, 900 square miles, or a little more than one-fourth the area of the national parks and a little less than that of the State of Delaware. Comparatively little has been published on the wild life of the national monuments and even the existence of some of the most interesting reservations is scarcely known to the public. Much less has the tourist or casual visitor a -clear idea of what constitutes a national monument, of the diverse character of monuments, or of the distinction between a national monument and a national park. This, perhaps, is not surprising when it is recalled that only a few years ago a former Cabinet officer to whom was submitted a recommendation for the establishment of one of the larger national monuments inquired, "What kind of a monument do you propose to build?" And upon being assured that it was not the intention to build any monument, but merely to preserve some objects of unusual scientific interest under the national monuments act, remarked, "Well, I don't know what you are going to do, but if Mr. - says it is all right I will approve the recommendation." And within a few days the monument became an accomplished fact. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book General Information Regarding the National Monuments written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Information Regarding the National Monuments: Set Aside Under the Act of Congress Approved June 8, 1906 The designations of the monuments, some of which at first sight appear formidable and difficult to pronounce, will be found on closer examination to be both interesting and appropriate. Most of the names refer either to the character of the monument or its geo graphical location. Gila Cliff Dwellings, Grand Canyon, Jewel Cave, Natural Bridges, Pinnacles, and Petrified Forest suggest at once the character of the reservations, while Colorado, Sitka, Mount Olympus, and Oregon Caves indicate their location. E1 Morro (the castle) if mentioned by its local descriptive name Inscription Rock, is at once divested of its unfamiliar form, and the designation Dinosaur becomes plain to anyone who has seen specimens or read descriptions of the wonderful extinct reptiles whose remains are here found in such numbers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glimpse at Guatemala, and Some Notes on the Ancient Monuments of Central America I cannot close this preface without offering my sincere thanks to Miss Annie Hunter and her sisters, and to all those who have been concerned in the preparation of the drawings and the reproduction of the illustrations, for the interest they have taken in the work entrusted to them and the carefulness with which it has been carried out.

They built what was culturally comfortable, technically possible, and, in most cases, pleasing to their formal Victorian sensibilities. The concept of national parks was brand new, and concern for the aesthetic well being of these places set aside for their special features had yet to develop.
