Acadia was founded in 1916 by Woodrow Wilson as the first Eastern national park, aided by rich men, often with middle initials, the 'rusticators,' as they were known then, the first of our wealthy out-of-state visitors.

I read my first book on Woodrow Wilson at age 15, and I was hooked.

I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by it's system of credit...[] We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world, NO longer a Government by free opinion, NO longer a Government of conviction and vote of the majority, but, a Government by opinion and the duress of a small group of dominant men.

Glaciers are almost gone from Glacier National Park.

I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada - timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts.

Wilderness, like the national park system, was an American idea.
