A straightforward text describes Pinchot's conservation efforts: introducing healthy forestry practices to American loggers, establishing the U.S. Forest Service, and, with the help of President Theodore Roosevelt, designating millions of acres of land as national forests before lumber, water, and mining companies could acquire them. Occasionally stiff illustrations accompany the story. Reading list.
