About this book

This is the story of the struggle to preserve America's national parks and of the key player in that struggle - the National Parks and Conservation Association (NPCA). The book describes the important ideas, events and people in the history of the NPCA and follows several threads through its history. It traces, especially, the evolution of a specialized non-governmental organization dedicated to the idea of a system of national parks.
