With the signing of the Wilderness Act by President Lyndon B. Johnson on September 3, 1964, the National Wilderness Preservation System was established to "...secure for the American people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness."
High Country News brings to life the people and events who shaped this unprecedented citizen's movement. Drawn from the pages of this award-winning newspaper whose coverage has been solely focused on environmental and cultural issues affecting the American West for over three decades, A People's History of Wilderness presents the competing philosophies, complexities, and passions, as they happened, that has resulted in the protection of over 104 million acres of wilderness.
About the Author
Matt Jenkins is assistant editor for High Country News, where he covers California, Nevada, and Utah, and also writes about water and wilderness issues. He grew up in Reno, Nevada, and spent several seasons as a wildland firefighter before earning a degree in Chinese history.
