First Published in 2011. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
Between Barkley and Kentucky Lakes--two great, artificial bodies of
water in western Tennessee and western Kentucky--lies a wooded land
that looks from above like the flattened thumb of a green giant.
Once a land of marginal farms and small settlements, this
240-square-mile peninsula, known as the Land Between the Lakes, has
been a national recreation area for the last half-century. Its
rolling, wooded hills and open bottomlands give the place charm but
little majesty. The place swallows up its few campgrounds and
visitors they attracts, creating a vacuous tranquility. In this
volume, Foresta explores how this forgotten and bypassed region
became a national recreation area. He uses its history to retrieve
our old attitudes toward nature, progress, and personal
development. He also uses its history to retrieve a vision of the
future that rallied idealists, intellectuals, and even public
officials to its banner.
