Talk:Gifford Pinchot

message: "He was alive in Simsbury, Connecticut in 1865"
Huh? Is this supposed to read "born"?
Also, I believe Grey Towers is in Milford, not outside it.

thread_title:  Alive? 

message: This item doesn't adequately explain the extent to which Pinchot opposed preservationists, nor that his main achievement and interest was in applying what passed for science to the logging business and to the U.S. Forest Service bureaucracy. I changed the statement that his goal was "saving forests" to "developing forestry concepts." I also changed the characterization of John Muir as a "back to nature" spokesman to "preservationist." A number of environmentalists today  apparently consider Pinchot something of a villain, most famously for his key support for damming Hetch Hetchy Valley. This ought to be reflected in the article.

message: I hiked to the rim of Mount St Helens last weekend and of course one of the names I ran into that hadn't really heard of before was Gifford Pinchot. How do you pronounce his last name? Is it Pinch-ought, or Pinch-aw, or something else? Please help. Thanks. Kidshare (talk) 05:05, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  How do you pronounce his name? 

message: Here is a historical marker in Milford, PA near Grey Towers about Gifford Pinchot. It says:
Gifford Pinchot (1865 – 1946): Noted forester, conservationalist, and progressive leader. Chief, 1898 – 1910, U.S. Forest Service (as renamed in 1905). Governor of Pennsylvania, two terms, 1923 – 1927 & 1931 – 1935. His first term brought major governmental reorganization. His second term was famed for the paving of rural roads throughout the state — including this road — to provide unemployment relief & "get the farmer out of the mud." Grey Towers was his family home. 
Hopefully this marker helps develop the article. Jason Quinn (talk) 02:07, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Pardon me for putting this at the beginning, not the end of the talk page, since I'm afraid it might get lost (as this man sometimes is). The article has a long section about the Pennsylvania governor's race as the depression deepened, but nothing about the next race, after which a democrat named Earle (mentioned only in the infobox) succeeded Pinchot. I'm in Illinois now and don't have the resources or time to do the research, but I seem to remember Pennsylvania's republicans again self-immolating. I've made a few corresponding changes to articles concerning Pennsylvania's state parks, since I remember Pinchot's influence in Pine Grove Furnace/French Creek and with the CCC. I was surprised to look at the list of state parks, to which I linked, and realize that the Laurel Highlands were a disaster area, the remediation of which began immediately after Pinchot left office. I'd love to know if that too was his legacy, for I don't think he sat back and wallowed in personal depression as his state and beloved forests struggled.Jweaver28 (talk) 14:02, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Although note 19 correctly cites Miller saying they met in 1892, Clayton's "Natural Rivals," p. 225, argues that it was 1893. The Sierra Club (https://vault.sierraclub.org/john_muir_exhibit/people/pinchot.aspx) agrees.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bomahh (talk • contribs) 23:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
