4.0 out of 5 starsTaking it for granted
By K Cornwinkle on September 20, 2007
Format: Hardcover
When we are at home in SF, our family has spent time in some part of Golden Gate National Park at LEAST once a week for many years. Amy and the others whose largely untold story this book recounts and who protected this remarkable place, cannot be thanked adequately. It is a case study of citizen activism, told in an appropriately understated and detailed way (though it is less than the compelling read it would have been if it were morphed into the script of a Docudrama -I'm thinking maybe Kathleen Quinlan as Amy?). It seems that there was all kinds of serendipity but the underlying successes and the dedication of these folks, without whom it would NEVER have happened (including a class of politicians, looking out for the future, who I don't see in today's politics) is something to be admired, studied and recreated.
Bonus: Richard Nixon, visiting SF during his reelection campaign, took a short boat trip out into the Gate and declared his support for legislation that would establish the Park. There is a photo of him on the boat looking more relaxed and happy than in anything I have ever seen other than a family photo. I'd like to think it was the setting and the idea that helped him feel that way.
In any case, when I am on Thornton Beach with the dog (under voice command and ignoring the Snowy Plovers) or running in the Headlands (once the proposed site of a 30,000 resident planned community!) or hiking on Sweeney Ridge or at an event at the Presidio, I always try to remember the many years of hard work that I learned about from Ms. Myer and Mr. Delehanty.

5.0 out of 5 starsGolden Gate
By Isabelle Jolly VINE VOICE on April 18, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This was a gift to a friend who lives in San Francisco. (I admit I had it mailed to me so that I could see it, too!) It's a very informative and interesting book. Even if you'll go to the park itself for sight-seeing, the book is very well worth reading. Lot of information you'll never see or find out by strolling around!

I recommend it highly.
