Book Description
Excerpt from Man, Leisure, and Wildlands; A Complex Interaction: Proceedings of the 1st Eisenhower Consortium Research Symposium, Sept. 14-19, Vail, Colorado A hundred years ago, settlers and tran sients swept West, seeking homes and for tunes. Their impacts on the environment were unplanned, unregulated. They cut trees, mined minerals, hunted wildlife, and their livestock grazed the ranges. Parts of the West are still recovering from that first westward migration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
