Black Hills Forestry: A History (Used Signed Hardcover) - John F. Freeman

The first study focused on the history of the Black Hills National Forest, its centrality to life in the region, and its preeminence within the National Forest System, Black Hills Forestry is a cultural history of the most commercialized national forest in the nation. One of the first forests actively managed by the federal government and the site of the first sale of federally owned timber to a private party, the Black Hills National Forest has served as a management model for all national forests. Its many uses, activities, and issues―recreation, timber, mining, grazing, tourism, First American cultural usage, and the intermingling of public and private lands―expose the ongoing tensions between private landowners and public land managers.
