Two men played a crucial role in the creation and early history of the National Park Service: Stephen T. Mather, a public relations genius of sweeping vision, and Horace M. Albright, an able lawyer and administrator who helped transform that vision into reality.
In Creating the National Park Service, Albright and his daughter, Marian Albright Schenck, reveal the previously untold story of the critical "missing years" in the history of the service. During this period, 1917 and 1918, Mather’s problems with manic depression were kept hidden from public view, and Albright, his able and devoted assistant, served as acting director and assumed Mather’s responsibilities.
Albright played a decisive part in the passage of the National Park Service Organic Act of 1916; the formulation of principles and policies for management of the parks; the defense of the parks against exploitation by ranchers, lumber companies, and mining interests during World War I; and other issues crucial to the future of the fledgling park system.

University of Oklahoma Press

On August 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the act creating the National Park Service. This amazing government agency preserves America's finest treasures, beginning with Yellowstone National Park established in 1872. The stories of the nation's growth and ideals are told at historic buildings, important landmarks, battlefield sites, and inspirational memorials. Learn the story from three men who lived it for 75 years. Pictures of 119 park areas -- from national parks, seashores, and rivers to national historic parks and scenic trails -- reflect the wide diversity of the system. Each book in The Story Behind the Scenery series tells a compelling story through the eyes of an experienced interpreter whose writing reflects true enthusiasm for the park. Complete with running text and interpretive captions, accompanied by abundant full-color photographs, these books will be welcome in any home library. 96 pp., over 160 color photos, map.
