Wilderness Politics and Recreational Development in the Adirondack State Park, 1920-1980
Description
Through a series of case studies, historian Jonathan D. Anzalone highlights the role of public and private interests in the Adirondack region and shows how partnerships frayed and realigned in the course of several key developments. This book reveals how class, economic self-interest, state power, and a wide range of environmental concerns have shaped modern politics in the Adirondacks and beyond.
