It was with a sense of humility and astonishment that I received your “Rediscovering the WPA Poster Art of Our National Parks”—a meticulously researched, beautifully illustrated, historically significant, and stunningly well produced volume.

Not least of your accomplishments has been the pervasive travel, sleuthing, and investigatory efforts that bought so much to hand. What you have made of it all is a landmark testimonial to the confluence of art, artistic reconstruction, and parks and U.S. history.

The book will, I trust, be widely disseminated and reviewed—in which event you will have further contributed to a 21st century revival of interest in and travel to the parks.
