Within twenty-four hours the yellow and red flag of Spain was run down and the tricolor run up; this hauled down and the Stars and Stripes run up. The Louisiana Territory thus became a part of the United States. In a flash, the western boundary of this country was changed from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the National Parks of America You cannot judge a country by its cities alone - least of all the United States. New York is typical of nothing except big cities; San Francisco is fast losing its individu ality New Orleans' atmosphere to-day is more vitiated by progress than it was yester day. And so the national parks remain as the greatest and most individual recreation grounds that any American may visit, whether he cross the water or not. They combine the lure of the outdoors, the appeal of tremendous scenic magnificence, the attractions of geolog ical and archeological study and the observa tion of wild animal life, and the stimulus of being brought face to face with Nature at her best and freest.

And new problems continually arise. The actual construction work generally devolves upon the engineers, and all studies of the physical problems of each park are made by the land scape men, the engineers, and the individual park superintendents, and in special cases of historical interest by the historians. When a general scheme of development has been decided upon, a so-called master plan is pre pared by the landscape architects ou which is charted an outline of all future construction work. Using this master plan as a guide, designs are then worked out for the individual items, such as roads, buildings, parking areas, bridges, trails, and numerous miscellaneous projects.

Secretary: In assigning me, among other things, the duty of exercising administrative supervision of the national parks and general control of their development and operation as playgrounds for the American people, you expressed your firm be lief that the scenery and natural features of scientific interest in these parks surpassed those of any other country; and you cherished the hope that they should become the objectives of American tourist travel, not only for the duration of the great European war but after its conclusion and the restoration of peace. You requested me to make every effort to provide accommodations in the national parks for all classes of visitors, and to give as much attention to the needs of the tourist with a small income as to those of the wealthy visitor accustomed to luxury. You were particularly desirous that the creature comforts of all park visitors be provided and that every precaution be taken to make travel on all roads and trails safe. You recognized the necessity for encouraging travel to the parks and approved plans for making better known their beauty and grandeur. You regarded the national parks as a great economic asset which had theretofore been entirely overlooked by the Federal Government, and authorized me to begin their develop ment on a broad -gauge scale.

Download or read book Subpar Parks written by Amber Share and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **A New York Times Bestseller!** Based on the wildly popular Instagram account, Subpar Parks features both the greatest hits and brand-new content, all celebrating the incredible beauty and variety of America’s national parks juxtaposed with the clueless and hilarious one-star reviews posted by visitors. Subpar Parks, both on the popular Instagram page and in this humorous, informative, and collectible book, combines two things that seem like they might not work together yet somehow harmonize perfectly: beautiful illustrations and informative, amusing text celebrating each national park paired with the one-star reviews disappointed tourists have left online. Millions of visitors each year enjoy Glacier National Park, but for one visitor, it was simply "Too cold for me!" Another saw the mind-boggling vistas of Bryce Canyon as "Too spiky!" Never mind the person who visited the thermal pools at Yellowstone National Park and left thinking, “Save yourself some money, boil some water at home.” Featuring more than 50 percent new material, the book will include more depth and insight into the most popular parks, such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Acadia National Parks; anecdotes and tips from rangers; and much more about author Amber Share's personal love and connection to the outdoors. Equal parts humor and love for the national parks and the great outdoors, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves to spend time outside as well as have a good read (and laugh) once they come indoors.

Download or read book National Parks Forever written by Jonathan B. Jarvis and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wallace Stegner called the national park system one of the United States' best ideas. That good idea has led to an institution that has grown over the past one hundred years, and the park system now encompasses four hundred areas that host over three hundred million visitors in typical year. Jonathan Jarvis (as a ranger, biologist, and director of the National Park Service in the Obama administration) and Destry Jarvis (as an advocate, policy analyst, and lobbyist) have worked to better the parks for over forty years. They offer here a history of the National Park Service (NPS) and an argument for the NPS to become an independent agency--similar to the Smithsonian Institution and separated from the Department of the Interior. Their reasoning relates to politics, finances, and science, and their proposal aims to safeguard the future of our national parks"--
