Wilderness has and continues to have very different meanings for
various groups of people. The "dilemma" occurs because some special
interest groups want to "tame" and use wilderness resources while
others demand a "hands-off" preservation policy. To cope with these
two extremes, government agencies have enacted a series of
regulations and laws. Private citizens have banded together to work
for suitable wilderness policies. This book examines all aspects of
the complex wilderness question including legislation, water rights
and miner exploration.
Corry McDonald was active in New Mexico wilderness preservation
efforts for over thirty years. His book, "Wilderness: A New Mexico
Legacy" also published by Sunstone Press, was widely praised by
national reviewers and was selected as one of the best current
American books reflecting national life, history and culture by the
English-Speaking Union.
