Recommended read: Our Common Ground by John Leshy.Tom Meacham recommended this book at DCC's annual meeting. It is a sweeping history of how the United States came to own and manage federal public lands, including national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges. Its overall message - very well documented in the book - is that despite the divisiveness that we are accustomed to in public lands management, the overall thrust of history is toward increased protection of these lands, which are themselves a unifying feature of American society and politics. Very refreshing and encouraging!yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300235784/our-common-ground/ ... See MoreSee Less
