Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Establishment of a National Park in the District of Columbia and the Acquirement and Improvement of the Valley of Rock Creek for Park Purposes Mr. Ingalls, who was always a friend of the District, introduced the same bill in the Senate on December 13, 1887, and Mr. Rowell, on January 9, 1888, introduced it in the House. On April 23, 1888, Senator Beck introduced a bill to establish under the Regents of the Smithsonian Institution a zoological park. On December 21, 1888, Senator Morrill introduced a similar bill, except that it prescribed that the location of the park be limited to the region between W'oodley road and Klingle road. The possibility of the crea tion of a public park on Rock Creek was taken into consideration, there being a provision for the cooperation of the Regents of the Smithsonian Institution and the commissioners of the public park in the laying out of roads, etc. There was no antagonism between the two park projects and the sentiment for the establishment of the Rock Creek Park hastened the legislation for the establishment of the Zoological Park, for when it was proposed to attach the Rock Creek Park bill as an amendment the Zoological Park, with a smaller appropriation, was accepted as a compromise and became a law.

Book excerpt: Washington, D.C.'s Rock Creek Park stands as a wild and wonderful natural gem among a burgeoning metropolis. But while local residents flock to its trails and roads on weekends to hike, jog and bicycle, they are largely unaware of its diverse history. The park's grounds were the site of the bloody Civil War Battle of Fort Stevens, and presidents like Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson exercised and picnicked in the park the same way many visitors do today. From the cabin of eccentric poet Joaquin Miller to the oldest house in Washington today, the many stories and legends surrounding the park are sure to entertain and inform. Join National Park ranger, author and historian Scott Einberger as he traces the human, natural and urban history of Rock Creek Park, the largest park in the nation's capital.

This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rock Creek Park, an Administrative History The late Jim Redmond had a deep appreciation for the park he super intended. He valued its importance as a natural oasis in the nation's capital, and he also valued its historical significance. Looking forward to its centennial in 1990, he spoke to me several times about nominating Rock Creek Park to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1983, shortly before Jim's death, Regional Director Jack Fish of the National Park Service's National Capital Region asked if I could do an administrative history of the park. The history was needed to provide background for a park general management plan. It could also serve as documentation for a National Register nomination, if responsible managers and staff in the park and regional office wished to pursue that course.
