Progress in the Development of the National Parks
Mather ST. 1916. Progress in the Development of the National Parks. Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. Secretary: In assigning me, among other things, the duty of exercising administrative supervision of the national parks and general control of their development and operation as playgrounds for the American people, you expressed your firm belief that the scenery and natural features of scientific interest in these parks surpassed those of any other country; and you cherised the hope that they should become the objectives of American tourist travel, not only for the duration of the great European war but after its conclusion and the restoration of peace.
