Letter from Gifford Pinchot to W. G. Steel

Letter from Gifford Pinchot to W. G. Steel

Gifford Pinchot writes to W. G. Steel, detailing the reasons why a national park should be established around Crater Lake. First, it is “one of the great natural wonders of this continent.” As a well-known resort, valued for recreation and scenery, Crater Lake can be managed and protected as a national park, rather than as a forest reserve, since there will not be any timber production. The chairman of the Public Lands Committee, Representative John F. Lacey, is in favor of passing the bill to create the park.
