The Pictured Rocks: An Administrative History of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
Karamanski TJ. 1995. The Pictured Rocks: An Administrative History of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Park Administrative Histories. National Park Service - Midwest Regional Office. Omaha, NE
The goal of this administrative history is to explore the unique management history of Pictured Rocks within the context of the evolution of National Park Service policy since 1966 and the history of the Upper Great Lakes region. The primary audience is the present and future administrators of the lakeshore and the National Park Service. "All good history, administrative and otherwise," Barry Mackintosh has noted, "describes and evaluates people, events, ideas, and actions in the context of their own times rather from a later perspective when definitions and other rules of the game may have changed." This volume will be a useful aid to park managers if it captures the context out of which emerged policy success or failure. From an understanding of context can come the most valuable insights of history, an understanding of why events happened the way they did.
