Strongly recommended reading, especially for students of American history, archaeology, and park systems

Ably compiled and co-edited by the team of David Harmon (Executive Director of the George Wright Society), Francis P. McManamon (Chief Archaeologist of the National Park Service), and Dwight T. Pitcaithley (former Chief Historian of the National Park Service and current teacher at the New Mexico State University), The Antiquities Act: A Century Of American Archaeology, Historic Preservation, And Nature Conservation is an exceptionally impressive collection of informed and informative essays and writings by academicians and experts focusing upon the Antiquities Act of 1906 and its contributions to American archaeology, the preservation of historic buildings, and its role in nature conservancy. The Antiquities Act has been involved with the preservation of natural and cultural treasures ranging from Thomas Edison's laboratory and the Olympic National Park, to such awe-inspiring sights as the Devil's Tower National Monument. A core addition to academic and community library reference collections, The Antiquities Act is very strongly recommended reading, especially for students of American history, archaeology, and park systems.
