Dressed in the familiar gray and green uniform and crowned with the
traditional "Smokey the Bear" hat, the National Park Service Ranger
is symbolic of many things in American culture: protection and
preservation, education and enlightenment, solitude and
self-sufficiency. In the past, rangers spent most of their working
hours alone-patrolling miles of trails, often in dismal weather
conditions, to force out wildlife poachers. Now, the modern ranger
may be a law-enforcement official, naturalist, historian, or river
guide. In this celebration of one of America's most enduring
symbols, former ranger Butch Farabee briefly reviews the evolution
of this national symbol. Packed with entertaining anecdotes and
illustrated with over one hundred archival photographs, this book
not only provides fascinating insight into the diversity of roles a
park ranger must play, but also honors the unique people dedicated
to guarding and maintaining this country's irreplaceable treasures.
