American Eden: an administrative history of Olympic National Park
Rothman HK. 2006. American Eden: an administrative history of Olympic National Park. Park Administrative Histories. Olympic National Park. Port Angeles, WA
From the Introduction: "Olympic National Park holds a pivotal place in the history of national parks in the United States. Since its tumultuous establishment as a national park in 1938, it has served as a bellwether of the national sentiment that favored preservation. ... The park also reveals an important dimension of evolving national park management. Olympic National Park clearly shows the ways in which national parks became progressively more sensitive to their surroundings and more skilled at building coalitions to support National Park Service objectives." Thus begins the administrative history of OLYM.
