TR was a remarkable character--I'll be watching for this book to turn up at my local library!

It is interesting to note that they did this together as a bulwark against corporate control and profiteering off of our country's natural resources, and they sold it to the electorate using populist sentiments about preserving the our shared natural heritage for future generations (vs. short term profits). With the mood in our country so furious against banks, Wall Street and most of Big Business, I wonder if Obama couldn't make headway on his conservation agenda using similar tactics and language? Wanna trade books? ;) Can’t wait to read this book John, especially having recently read Tim Egan’s “The Big Burn”, which tells the story of Teddy Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot’s joint quest to preserve America’s natural resources through the creation of National Forests.
