Description
National parks are a distinctively American idea, but it takes people to make these ideas happen. This unique insider's account tells how Bay Area activists forged bipartisan local and national support for an unprecedented campaign to create a great new national park. In 1970, beginning with the former Army lands originally reserved to protect San Francisco Bay, the grassroots "People for a Golden Gate National recreation Area" succeeded in preserving all of the spectacular land that frames the Golden Gate.
