Shop "Creating Acadia National Park: The Biography of George Bucknam Dorr" by Ronald H. Epp

"Creating Acadia National Park: The Biography of George Bucknam Dorr" by Ronald H. Epp

$20.00
Sold Out

Although he is known as the "father of Acadia" and a founder of the oldest national park east of the Mississippi River, George Bucknam Dorr's seminal contributions to the American environmental movement have gone largely unacknowledged. Even today, those who live in or visit the coastal Maine communities surrounding Acadia National Park do not fully realize the scope of his achievements. This biography is the story of Dorr's pioneering role in the establishment and development of a unique conservation model that dovetailed with the evolution of the US National Park Service--which shares its 2016 centennial with Acadia.

2016 Friends of Acadia, trade paperback, First Edition, illustrated with photographs, index, 393 pages
