John W. Furlow asserts that Gifford’s Pinchot later career as a politician, most notably as Governor of Pennsylvania, is often overlooked in favor of focusing on the time when he was ascendant in the American conservation movement. Furlow closely examines Pinchot’s time as Governor, and he stresses the role of his wife, Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, as an important influence on Pinchot. Pinchot favored prohibition and the building of farm to market roads as Governor, and Furlow argues that Pinchot’s political career focused on the preservation of human resources. Though he supported President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, Pinchot remained active in Republican politics, but he never held elective office again after 1935.

A photograph of Gifford Pinchot on horseback in 1925 and two photographs of Cornelia Bryce Pinchot appear in the article. In addition to endnotes, the article also features a paragraph that lists a number of studies and biographies of the Pinchots and their home, Grey Towers.
