Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conservation Fight: From Theodore Roosevelt to the Tennessee Valley Authority "Here is history, authentic history, of a crucial period in American life and politics that has all the challenge and charm of drama, written by a leading actor in the drama. Here is the intimate story, by a participant, of how TVA ... came into being. "Judson King knew all the actors in the mighty TVA drama which started with the conservation movement in Teddy Roosevelt's day... His interest in popular government led him ultimately to the directorship of the National Popular Government League, established under the leadership of George Norris and Gifford Pinchot. One of the earliest interests of the League was establishment of initiative and referendum in each of the states. "Deeply concerned with popular control of America's natural resources, Judson King saw the potentialities for abundant, cheap hydroelectric power, combined with flood control, to serve citizens free from exploitation. The waste of waters of our swift rivers rushing to the sea without passing through turbines to generate low-cost electricity for our people - power unused in this age of science - was unendurable to him. Every fibre within him rebelled against such injustice to the public interest, whether it expressed itself in unsavory political practice, locally or nationally, or in some form of restrictive monopoly. "In this book, Judson King brings back to life for a new generation many episodes in the conservation movement and the fight for TVA, including the Federal Trade Commission inquiry into the nefarious practices of the private utilities which brought reforms in the 1930's... He pays his respects to the Corps of Army Engineers, too, and tells us the story of their opposition to the high dam development which became the core of cheap electric power... "More than a history of the birth pains of TVA, important as that is, this book is a history of a free people's fight to maintain control of one of their own natural resources, the waters of a great river system, to assure themselves and their posterity a better life. "Built by one generation, TVA and the conservation principles it represents must be cherished and preserved by another. Judson King has shown the way." - Benton J. Stong in the Foreword.

Download or read book Theodore Roosevelt the Making of a Conservationist written by Paul Russell Cutright and published by Urbana : University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Theodore Roosevelt was one of the first, most prominent, and most influential conservationists this nation has ever known. Paul Russell Cutright shows exactly how Roosevelt's early years contained the seeds of and led inevitably to the pioneering environmental policies he established during his presidency. Focusing on the years 1867-1901, Cutright illuminates Roosevelt's consistent preoccupation with the natural world (especially birds). He highlights TR's boyhood museum of natural history; juvenile notebooks and essays on biology; mastery of taxidermy; Harvard training as a natural history major; travels to and writings on the Adirondacks, the West, Europe, and the Middle East; involvement with the Boone and Crockett Club; and successful conservation efforts as governor of New York. All of these experiences gave Roosevelt the president the firm foundation he needed to become one of our country's foremost conservationists"--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodore Roosevelt’s scientific curiosity and love of the outdoors proved a defining force throughout his hectic life as a rancher and explorer, police commissioner and governor of New York, vice president and president of the United States. Conservation and natural history were parts of a whole for this driven, charismatic public servant, and Roosevelt approached the natural world with joy and a passionate engagement. Drawing on an array of approaches—biographical, ecological and environmental, literary and political, Theodore Roosevelt, Naturalist in the Arena analyzes this energetic man’s manifold encounters with the great outdoors. George Bird Grinnell, Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, and William Hornaday were among the many conservationists with whom Roosevelt corresponded, collaborated, hiked, and governed—and in turn, inspired. Together, Roosevelt and his contemporaries developed a progressive argument for the conservation of natural resources as a way to construct a more democratic nation-state. This legacy also comes with some troubling domestic and global implications, as Roosevelt fused his call for the conservation of resources—natural and human, domestically and internationally—with a deep-seated conviction that some were more fit than others to control the world and define its future.
