Book Overview
This is a reproduction of the address, "The Natural Wealth of the Land and its Conservation," delivered by James J. Hill at the Conference on the Conservation of National Resources held at the White House in Washington, May 13-15, 1908. Hill, a prominent railroad executive, offers his insights on the critical importance of preserving and managing the nation's natural resources. This address serves as a valuable historical document, reflecting early 20th-century perspectives on conservation and environmental stewardship.
Hill's remarks provide a glimpse into the concerns and priorities of leaders during a period of increasing industrialization and resource exploitation. His emphasis on responsible land use and the long-term economic benefits of conservation resonates even today, making this address a relevant read for anyone interested in the history of environmentalism and the ongoing challenges of sustainable development.
