overland from Fairbanks or by steam
boat on the rapid Susitna river.
The highest peak on the continent,
Mount Mckinley. 10000 feet, should

great herds. Of bighorn sheep. moose,
caribou and deer. The huge Alaska
bear Is also native to the park. The

south side OF the parks sixty feet.

Of the almost impossible Alaska
mountain range which rises between
the interior and the southwestern
coast. This park WAs estAbltshed by

1.-THE American people fought their first battles for liberty and the
rights Of sef-gover1inent one hundred and forty-two years ago.
4HAt that time, and for many years thereafter, their realization Of
their national aspirations and OF the goal toward which they were
really striving was vague and indistinct. But step by step they
struggled onward and upward toward light which grew clearer as
their eyes and minds slowly opened to it's significance. Today, as
aresult Of their struggles and their sacrifices, we possess and enjoy
our priceless American institutions.
fThese institutions must be preserved. The structure so laboriously
reared in these one hundred and forty-two years will be utterly de-
stroyedif we do not spring to its defense with every atom of our
energy and determination. This is not a situation which may be
triAed with, or evaded, or put Of. It IS one which must be met now
-today-nos matter what sacrifices il may entail, or what the cost
may be. e. @~&@: F."

This is a piece of sidewalk that
