North Cascades N.P., Ross Lake N.R.A. & Lake Chelan N.R.A.: History Basic Data
Thompson EN and National Park Service - Office of History and Historic Architecture, Eastern Service Center. 1970. North Cascades N.P., Ross Lake N.R.A. & Lake Chelan N.R.A.: History Basic Data
Although advantages would occur if the history of each unit of the park complex appeared separately, the report will develop along the line of themes. For example, mining affected all the areas and the degree of significance of individual sites can best come to light in one general thematic discussion rather than four separate reports on mining activities. Also, some themes, such as Indians and shipping on Lake Chelan, will lead the reader outside the boundaries of the park. The National Park has no Berlin-type walls around it; it is part of the larger environment--the North Cascade Range and the Pacific Northwest.
