In this sweeping social history Dorceta E. Taylor examines the
emergence and rise of the multifaceted U.S. conservation movement
from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century. She shows
how race, class, and gender influenced every aspect of the
movement, including the establishment of parks; campaigns to
protect wild game, birds, and fish; forest conservation; outdoor
recreation; and the movement's links to nineteenth-century
ideologies. Initially led by white urban elites-whose early efforts
discriminated against the lower class and were often tied up with
slavery and the appropriation of Native lands-the movement
benefited from contributions to policy making, knowledge about the
environment, and activism by the poor and working class, people of
color, women, and Native Americans. Far-ranging and nuanced, The
Rise of the American Conservation Movement comprehensively
documents the movement's competing motivations, conflicts,
problematic practices, and achievements in new ways.
