Item description from seller

Hardcover. Texas State Parks: The First 100 Years, 19232023 examines the history of one of Texass most treasured assets: our state parks. From the legislative establishment of the original Texas State Parks Board to the present, the development of our state and national parks over the last one hundred years has depended upon an evolving concept of public lands for public use and enjoyment. One of Americas best ideas has been a parks system for allfirst at the national level, then among the states. In Texas, leaders have emerged at every stage of this hundred-year history to lend their names and reputations to the cause of conservation and preservation, which has met growing acceptance among the public at large. This book explores the contributions of these giants at all levels. Together, they gave meaning to Teddy Roosevelts call to arms for the preservation of public lands as one of the countrys foundations of an essential democracy. After successful careers in politics, then business, George Bristol turned to a complementary endeavor that would utilize his skills and reflect a lifelong love of nature and parks: advocacy for parks and people. In 1994, he received a presidential appointment to the National Parks Foundation, launching his new journey. He established the Texas Coalition for Conservation in 2001 and began an eighteen-year effort that culminated in the people of Texas overwhelmingly voting to direct all revenue generated from the Sporting Goods Sales Tax to state parks and historic sitesas originally intended. Examines the history of one of Texass most treasured assets: its state parks. From the legislative establishment of the original Texas State Parks Board to the present, the development of Texas state and national parks over the last one hundred years has depended upon an evolving concept of public lands for public use and enjoyment.
