Wild Places Preserved: The Story of Bob Marshall in Idaho

By Dennis Baird and Anne Marie Moore

In a life that lasted just 39 years, Bob Marshall earned a PhD, founded the Wilderness Society, wrote a best selling book about Alaska, became a leading official of the Forest Service, and became the single most influential promoter of setting aside wild land in the United States. This book examines, mostly in Marshall's own words, his successful efforts in preserving millions of acres of wilderness in Idaho, the state to which he devoted his greatest effort. His work permanently changed the face of Idaho and Marshall's vision for the state remains relevant even today. This book is a history in documents, and over 90% of the information in this book appeasrs here for the first time.
