At the turn of the 20th century, the wild and untamed natural beauty of North America was being rapidly eroded by commercial greed and poor management, leading to the destruction of vast tracts of land and the degradation of many of our most pristine ecosystems. Recognizing the dire environmental situation, this book was written to rally mountaineers and conservationists to combat further destruction. Through impassioned prose and vivid accounts of adventures in some of North America's most breathtaking mountains, the author rallied support for the creation and protection of National Parks â" large areas of land set aside to protect natural wonders for generations to come. The author's insights into the importance of preserving these ecosystems for their beauty and the critical role they play in sustaining life on the continent are as relevant today as they were a century ago, when this book was first published.
