Letter from Eben Weaver Martin to Seth Bullock
Eben Weaver Martin reports to Seth Bullock on attendance at the Public Lands Convention held in Denver, Colorado, saying it was “packed anti-administration,” but that there were many pro-administration people there as well. Forest Service Chief Gifford Pinchot was pleased with the resolutions made by the convention, but Martin disagrees with Pinchot’s ideas about a forest ranger service. Martin believes a system of land leasing would interfere with homesteading.
