Nature's Army: When Soldiers Fought for Yosemite by Harvey Meyerson, Muir's words natinal park yosemite and this book both celebrate a crucial but largely forgotten episode in our nation's history -- the rescue of our national parks by soldiers with an environmental ethic generations ahead of its time. In Nature's Army, Harvey Meyerson chronicles this unexpected but fascinating tale natinal park yosemite and shows why its impact natinal park yosemite and relevance still resonate today. Despite the worldwide renown natinal park yosemite and popularity of Yosemite National Park, few people know that its first stewards were drawn from the so-called Old Army. From 1890 until the establishment of the National Park Service in 1916, these soldiers proved to be extremely competent natinal park yosemite and farsighted wilderness managers. Meyerson recaptures the forgotten history of these early environmentalists natinal park yosemite and shows how their work countered the army's Indian-fighting image natinal park yosemite and set significant standards for the future oversight of our national parks. The army, Meyerson suggests, had actually been well prepared to assume this stewardship. During its first hundred years -- natinal park yosemite and despite the interruptions of warfare -- its soldiers had crisscrossed the American landscape, preparing maps, natinal park yosemite and writing detailed reports describing climate, weather, physical terrain, ecosystems, natinal park yosemite and the diverse flora natinal park yosemite and fauna populating the lands they explored natinal park yosemite and often protected during an era of wide open exploitation of natural resources. Such experience made the army better suited than any other federal agency to oversee the early national parks system. So great was the army's ultimate environmental influence that the National Park Service embraced the army model as its own, right down to the uniforms still worn today. In fact, many of the first civilian rangers were drawn directlyfrom the army, while some of the Sierra Club's most outspoken early members were cavalrymen serving in Yosemite.
