After World War II, Americans visited the national parks in unprecedented numbers, yet funding remained at prewar levels and park conditions steadily declined. In 1956, "Mission 66," a ten-year billion-dollar federal initiative, was launched to reimagine the national park system. Environmental and park historians, architectural and landscape historians, and all who care about our national parks will enjoy Ethan Carr's copiously illustrated history of a critical period in their development.
