Fauna of the National Parks of the United States: A Preliminary Survey of Faunal Relations in National Parks
Wright GM, Dixon JS, Thompson BH. 1933. Fauna of the National Parks of the United States: A Preliminary Survey of Faunal Relations in National Parks. Fauna of the National Parks of the United States Series. No. 1. National Park Service. Washington, D.C.
This is the first of a series of reports dealing with the vertebrate fauna of the national parks to be prepared in the Branch of Education and research of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. In addition to treating of the vertebrate natural history of the parks still requiring basic surveys, the reports will cover research in one branch of the science that is the very foundation upon which the National Park Service is built, namely, the preservation of the native values of wilderness life. For it is this ideal above all else which differentiates this service from its sister services in government.
