Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Douglas Brinkleys The Wilderness Warrior celebrated Theodore Roosevelts spirit of outdoor exploration and bold vision to protect 234 million acres of wild America. Now, in Rightful Heritage, Brinkley turns his attention to the other indefatigable environmental leaderTeddys distant cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, chronicling his essential yet under-sung legacy as the founder of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and premier protector of Americas public lands. FDR built from scratch dozens of State Park systems and scenic roadways. Pristine landscapes such as the Great Smokies, the Everglades, Joshua Tree, the Olympics, Big Bend, Channel Islands, Mammoth Cave and the slickrock wilderness of Utah were forever saved by his leadership. Brinkley traces FDRs love for the natural world from his youth exploring the Hudson River Valley and bird watching. As Americas president from 1933 to 1945, Rooseveltconsummate political strategistestablished hundreds of federal migrating bird refuges and spearheaded the modern endangered species movement. He brilliantly positioned his conservation goals as economic policy to combat the severe unemployment of the Great Depression. During its nine-year existence, the CCC put nearly three million young men to work on conservation projectsincluding building trails in the national parks, pollution control, land restoration to combat the Dust Bowl, and planting over two billion trees.Rightful Heritage is an epic chronicle that is both an irresistible portrait of FDRs unrivaled passion and drive, and an indispensable analysis that skillfully illuminates the tension between business and natureexploiting our natural resources and conserving them. Within the narrative are brilliant capsule biographies of such environmental warriors as Eleanor Roosevelt, Harold Ickes and Rosalie Edge. Rightful Heritage is essential reading for everyone seeking to preserve our treasured landscapes as an American birthright.
