Abstract: The core of the book is a tour of the 10 regions of the forest empire, from the White Mountains in New England and the Chattahoochee in Georgia to Syoming's Shoshone, California's Sequoia, Washington's Olympic and the magnificent untapped Tongass in Alaska. In each region, focuses on one aspect of the Forest Service's work: forest-fire control, watershed control, soil management, wild-life protection, pest control, timber production, wilderness preservation, and recreational facilities.
