Description: "This is not an ordinary history book; it's more a collection of true stories that deal with certain trends and events that twine together to make up our nation's policies on its public lands. Neither is it a scholar;s book, for it doesn't pretend to present new facts or new statistics about our public lands .  It is rather a human interest book in that it presents old facts and old statistics in a different way -- in a storyteller's way, rather than in the academic style of the professional historian or the labored style of the badgered bureaucrat"--Introduction.
Notes: "June 1, 1969"--Introduction.
