Letter from David Starr Jordan to James Carson Needham

David Starr Jordan writes to Congressman Needham regarding recent proposals that the Pinnacles be withdrawn from the forest reserve and turned into open land again to the benefit of cattlemen and others. Jordan explains that he and Professor William Russel Dudley were involved in its initial inclusion as part of the forest reserve, and support its continued protection. He admits he is not fully informed about the current matter, but hopes that Needham will take an interest in making sure that this valuable natural attraction will not be commercially exploited.
