Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Parks and Emergency Conservation The landscape process begins with selecting locations which do not tear up the landscape or obtrude into important views. This is. Followed by a study of the design, which endeavors to use native materials and other architectural features that will harmonize the structure with its sur roundings. The last phase of the problem is the placing of any plant materials necessary to cure unavoidable damage that may result from the construction. The range of national park landscape problems is highly interesting and diversified. It runs the gamut from dog kennels in Alaska to colonial plantations in Virginia, from adobe houses with cactus gardens in the Southwest to subarctic roadside plantings in Maine, and from lakeside hotels in Montana to hot-springs developments in Arkansas. The actual construction work, of course, devolves upon the engineers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the National Parks N ow I fail to share with my advisers their poor Opinion of the taste, enterprise, and intelligence of the wide-awake American, but, for the sake of my message, I yield in some part to their warnings. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oh, Ranger!: A Book About the National Parks I like the idea of this book, Oh, Ranger! It tells the story of the parks in the simple, informal style of the rangers. It gives the rangers the credit due them for their fine work in guarding the national parks and preserving them in their primeval beauty. It breathes the spirit of the people who belong to the parks, who make possible the parks as they are today. They are a fine, earnest, intelligent, and public-spirited body of men, these rangers. Though small in number, their in uence is large. Many and long are the duties heaped upon their shoulders. If a trail is to be blazed, it is send a ranger. If an animal is oundering in the snow, a ranger is sent to pull him out; if a bear is in the hotel, if a fire threatens a forest, if someone is to be saved, it is send a ranger. If a Dude wants to know the why, if a Sagebrusher is puzzled about a road, it is ask the ranger. Everything the ranger knows, he will tell you, except about himself. Oh, Ranger! Now tells you about him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Park Structures and Facilities, 1935 In any area in which the preservation of the beauty of Nature is a primary purpose, every modification of the natural landscape, whether it be'by construction of a road or erection of a shelter, is an intrusion. A basic objective of those who are entrusted with development of such areas for the human uses for which they are established, is, it seems to me, to hold these intrusions to a minimum and so to design them that, besides being attractive to look upon, they appear to belong to and be a part of their settings. For some years, the National Park Service, State Park authorities and other agencies which administer natural park areas have been attaining a constantly improved technique of design and execution for the structures that are required for safe, convenient and beneficial public use of these parks. Progress in this field has been especially marked since the incep tion of the Emergency Conservation Work program, with its steadily increasing and sound emphasis on development of recreational facilities, particularly in State Parks. Stimulated. By the problems this work has presented, competent architects have produced designs - and seen them converted into reality - that denote a' real advance in this somewhat specialized field. Herein are presented some of the successful natural park structures, - a group by no means limited to those produced during the past two years or to those designed and erected under National Park Service supervision; Since tastes difier and since varying experience produces varying conclusions, it is hardly to be expected that there will be unanimous agreement as to the wisdom of including certain of the selected designs, or that no one will take issue with any of the points raised in the discussions that form an important part of the work: Selec tion and discussion alike, however, are the result of most careful and conscientious study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of Our National Parks T HE national parks are areas which Congress has set apart, because of extraordinary scenic beauty, remarkable phenomena or other unusual qualification, for the use and enjoyment of the people for all time. They are administered by the National Park Service. These are not parks in the common meaning of the word. They are not beautiful tracts of cultivated country with smooth lawns and winding paths like Central Park in New York, or Lincoln Park in Chicago, or Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. They are, on the contrary, large areas which nature, not man, has made beautiful and 'which the hand of man alters only enough to provide roads to enter them, trails to penetrate their fastnesses, and hotels and camps to live in. The official definition of a national park was compiled by Secre tary Work and is quoted here from his reply to an inquiry by Senator Fletcher, of Florida, January 14, 1924: Under the theory and practice of the United States Government since 1872, when Yellowstone National Park was created, our national park system is made up of areas inclosing scenery of quality so unusual and impressive, or natural features so extraordinary, as to possess national interest and impor tance as contradistinguished from local interest. Such outstanding examples of typical world architecture as the Grand Canyon, exemplifying in unequalled grandeur the highest accomplishment of stream erosion, or the rugged por tions of Mount Desert Island, in Maine, which are incorporated in the La fayette National Park, exemplifying unique rock forms in association with quite extraordinary eastern forests, compelled immediate recognition of national park values. The national parks, therefore, must not be lowered in standard, dignity, and prestige by the inclusion of areas which express in less than the highest terms the particular class or type of exhibit which they represent.
