Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Land of America

Rightful Heritage chronicles Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s essential yet undersung legacy as the founder of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and premier protector of America’s public lands. FDR built from scratch dozens of state park systems and scenic roadways. Pristine landscapes such as the Great Smokies, the Everglades, Joshua Tree, the Olympics, Big Bend, the Channel Islands, Mammoth Cave, and the slickrock wilderness of Utah were forever saved by his leadership. Author: Douglas Brinkley. Paperback; 784 pages.
