Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Let this graphic novel be your time machine--experience history like never before! Our past is only the beginning with History Comics.
In this volume, The National Parks: Preserving America's Wild Places , turn back the clock to 1872, when Congress established Yellowstone National Park as an area of unspoiled beauty for the "benefit and enjoyment of the people." Meet the visionaries, artists, and lovers of the American wilderness who fought against corruption and self-interest to carve out and protect these spaces for future generations. See for yourself how the idea of National Parks began, how they've changed, and how they continue to define America.
Includes bibliographical references (page 119).
"Join our intrepid tour guides (a Sasquatch and a bald eagle) as they introduce us to the visionaries, artists, and lovers of the American landscape who fought against corruption and self-interest to carve out and protect these epic places for future generations. It's the story of the ongoing battle to ensure the most beautiful spaces in the world are not gated up or destroyed, but preserved and accessible to all! See for yourself how the idea of national parks began, how they've changed, and how they continue to define America."-- Page 4 of cover.
