The Battle to Create Minnesota's National Park by Fred T. Witzig |
|
| When
President Nixon signed the
legislation authorizing the establishment of Voyageurs National Park on
January 8, 1971, almost eighty years had passed since
Minnesota’s government
initially petitioned to create a national park in the northern portion
of the state.
Voyageurs National Park chronicles the complex legal and political campaign to found Minnesota’s only national park. Witzig’s thoroughly documented and referenced research allows him to offer a detailed view of the unanticipated disappointments and defining moments of achievement that accompanied this complicated legislative battle. |
