Very good art work and easy to read. Like the coil binding so that the book will lay flat at the bench.

This is the type of book that should be read by all people lay and professional, because it is largely a first hand account of the Region One's forest rangers and their dedication to duty. Rothman as the editor does an outstanding job weaving the individual accounts together to give a clear view of the early development of the Forest Service in Region One. He does not step on the narratives, but rather provides clarification only when needed. When a reader can actually read about events that occurred by the participants it only enriches the understanding of the subject matter. A must read for all those interested in the early days of forest management.
