Book Description
Excerpt from Yellowstone National Park Boundary Commission, Message From the President of the United States: Transmitting the Final Report of the Yellowstone National Park Boundary Commission on an Inspection of Areas Involved in the Proposed Adjustment of the Southeast, South, and Southwest Boundaries of Yellowstone National Park The Yellowstone National Park was created by Congress in 1872. At that time the country was unsurveyed and the boundaries were arbitrarily drawn to assure the inclusion of Yellowstone Lake, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, the Mammoth Hot Springs, and the phenomena of the geyser basins in the west and south central parts of the park. This was accomplished by the establishment of rectangular lines, running across box canyons and mountains with out regard to topography, approximately 62 miles north and south and 54 miles east. And west, and embracing an area of square miles, or acres, almost wholly in Wyoming, but partly within Montana and Idaho. These boundaries of the Yellowstone Park remained without change until 1929. From time to time, however, and particularly in 1898, 1902, and 1919, formal efforts were made to enlarge the park by inclusion of the Grand Tetons and the territory north of the Buffalo Fork Of the Snake River. In 1898 the Senate directed the Secretary of the Interior to report whether the region south of the park should not be put under the same control as the national park, in order to prevent the extinction Of the herds Of large game roaming therein. Congress took no action. In 1902 the Secretary of the Interior upon recommendation Of the superintendent of the park submitted a bill to Congress seeking the addition Of an extensive area south of the park and including the Grand Tetons. N 0 action was taken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Battle for Yellowstone
Author: Justin Farrell
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691176302
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
Yellowstone holds a special place in America's heart. As the world's first national park, it is globally recognized as the crown jewel of modern environmental preservation. But the park and its surrounding regions have recently become a lightning rod for environmental conflict, plagued by intense and intractable political struggles among the federal government, National Park Service, environmentalists, industry, local residents, and elected officials. The Battle for Yellowstone asks why it is that, with the flood of expert scientific, economic, and legal efforts to resolve disagreements over Yellowstone, there is no improvement? Why do even seemingly minor issues erupt into impassioned disputes? What can Yellowstone teach us about the worsening environmental conflicts worldwide? Justin Farrell argues that the battle for Yellowstone has deep moral, cultural, and spiritual roots that until now have been obscured by the supposedly rational and technical nature of the conflict. Tracing in unprecedented detail the moral causes and consequences of large-scale social change in the American West, he describes how a "new-west" social order has emerged that has devalued traditional American beliefs about manifest destiny and rugged individualism, and how morality and spirituality have influenced the most polarizing and techno-centric conflicts in Yellowstone's history. This groundbreaking book shows how the unprecedented conflict over Yellowstone is not all about science, law, or economic interests, but more surprisingly, is about cultural upheaval and the construction of new moral and spiritual boundaries in the American West.
