Notes
General Note
"In 2005, six tattered blue boxes were unearthed at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Inside were 5,000 pages of letters, photos, cards, mmusic, poetry, and vivid descriptions of the work carried out by early natural resource conservation professionals. The boxes were labeled simply 'The Old Timers.' Penned between the years 1937-1941 by 225 men and women who served under President Theodore Roosevelt and first Chief of the U.S. Forest Service Gifford Pinchot ... the Old Timers Collection describes the birthing of an agency through the training of individuals with a virtuous vision of public service. The narratives contain tales of extreme hardship, on-the-ground problem solving, interactions with cattlemen, miners, and loggers as well as first-hand descriptions of challenges in which the Forest Ranger turned confrontation into cooperation"--Page 4 of cover
