Overview

Dressed in the familiar grey and green uniform and crowned with the traditional Smokey the Bear hat, the National Park Service Ranger is symbolic of many things in American culture - protection and preservation, education and enlightenment, and solitude and self-sufficiency. In this celebration of one of America's most enduring symbols, former ranger Butch Farabee reviews the evolution of this national symbol. The text provides insight into the diversity of roles a park ranger must play, but also honours the unique people dedicated to guarding and maintaining the country's irreplaceable treasures.
