Inhaltsangabe

As Americans increased their participation in outdoor recreation beginning in the 1950s, there was also an increasing concern for the proper management of public lands and wildlife. In “Parks and Preservation,” the fourth volume in the "Matt's Wild West Discovery Series," you will have an opportunity to see how western stars like the Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy and Gene Autry contributed to the cause of conservation and preservation. There are also several activities and puzzles that are designed to introduce some of the many wonderful parks and recreation areas available in the western regions of the country.This book is part of a new series of activity books about the American Wild West. The series is designed to educate the reader in an interactive yet entertaining manner through exposure to "primary sources" that were available mostly as elements of American pop culture during the childhood years of their grandparents and great-grandparents! In their day, especially the 1930's through the 1970's, they were heavily influenced by sources like dime novels, movies, radio programs, comic books, and television. Thus, this series will attempt to focus our learning about the Wild West by way of paper-pencil activities based upon information that can be gleaned from a sampling of those resources.
