National Park, City Playground: Mount Rainier In The Twentieth Century

摘要

National park histories generally follow one of two paths. In the first instance, they situate a park within some larger social, environmental, political, or other context in order to argue broad points. Alternately, they dig into a park to exhume the people, events, and environments that gave the place its unique character. National Park, City Playground clearly falls into the latter category, being a rich history of the genesis and development of a premier American park.
