Development and Evaluation of the Campground Receipt Study
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Camp sites, facilities, etc
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
Little recreation information that describes visitor use patterns and characteristics has been collected systematically at Corps projects. A system is now being developed to collect longitudinal information concerning visitor characteristics at Corps of Engineers fee campgrounds. This system has proved to be an effective method of collecting reliable trend data and is cost-efficient. The Campground Receipt Study (CRS) is the development and field testing of this system. This report describes the development and evaluation of the 1980 test of the CRS. Examples of some possible analyses of data from the CRS data are presented to illustrate the potential usefulness of the information to all levels of management and planning as well as to recreation researchers within the Corps. The analyses are based on data collected during only a portion of the 1980 recreation sea and are, therefore, only presented for illustrative purposes. They indicate the type of information that could be readily provided to decision-makers and researchers through implementation of the CRS procedures. The analyses presented are not intended to be a complete list of uses for the data; other applications can be found within the Corps as well as from other Federal agencies, universities, and private research organizations.

Engineers of Independence
Author: Paul K. Walker
Publisher: The Minerva Group, Inc.
ISBN: 9781410201737
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
This collection of documents, including many previously unpublished, details the role of the Army engineers in the American Revolution. Lacking trained military engineers, the Americans relied heavily on foreign officers, mostly from France, for sorely needed technical assistance. Native Americans joined the foreign engineer officers to plan and carry out offensive and defensive operations, direct the erection of fortifications, map vital terrain, and lay out encampments. During the war Congress created the Corps of Engineers with three companies of engineer troops as well as a separate geographer's department to assist the engineers with mapping. Both General George Washington and Major General Louis Lebéque Duportail, his third and longest serving Chief Engineer, recognized the disadvantages of relying on foreign powers to fill the Army's crucial need for engineers. America, they contended, must train its own engineers for the future. Accordingly, at the war's end, they suggested maintaining a peacetime engineering establishment and creating a military academy. However, Congress rejected the proposals, and the Corps of Engineers and its companies of sappers and miners mustered out of service. Eleven years passed before Congress authorized a new establishment, the Corps of Artillerists and Engineers.
