Preserving Different Pasts: The American National Monuments

by Hal K. Rothman

This 255-page hardcover was published by the University of Illinois Press in 1989 (1st edition). This volume is in new condition in every way, except for very minimal shelf wear to the dustcover, and owner's name plate on 1st page. This book appears to be unread, as pages are pristine. The hardcover is like new, with sharp edges and corners. Overall, a very impressive book.

There is surprisingly little out there regarding the history of the national monuments - even though they consistently pop up throughout years and are highly contentious. I've been working a research project related to monuments and this book filled in a lot of the gaps in my knowledge.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in national monuments. There is also plenty of information about the NPS, War Department and Forest Service handling of monuments as well.
