If I were a character in this book...

If I were a character in this book, I would appreciate everything that Teddy Roosevelt is doing for the country. I would try to go and meet him and thank him personally.

After reading this book, I now understand…

that the conservation efforts put forth by Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot made vissionaries with ideas that came to fruition, years before their time. To this day we are still fighting industry and commerce to be greener and for US citizens to be more aware of the impact they have on this earth. These are the ideals Pinchot, Roosevelt and many others were trying to push as far back as the 1880s. Have we really made any progress at all?
