A Marvelous Hundred Square Miles: Black HHIa Tourism, 1880-1941

摘要

When the development of New York's Central Park began during the late 1850s, only a handful of proponents (most notably Frederick Law Olmsted) believed it would draw tourists from beyond the immediate vicinity. By 1880, the attractiveness of urban and wildland parks to visitors from afar was fact. Scholars have explored the tourism histories of a variety of protected areas of national importance (most notably Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks), but lesser known areas have tended to receive little or mostly local attention. Suzanne Barta Julin sets out to rectify the situation.
