This crusade for the American wilderness was perhaps the greatest U.S. presidential initiative between the Civil War and World War I. Roosevelt's most important legacies led to the creation of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and passage of the Antiquities Act in 1906. His executive orders saved such treasures as Devils Tower, the Grand Canyon, and the Petrified Forest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Brinkley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060565314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060565312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 2.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/06\/2010 pg. 44","brand":"Douglas Brinkley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050766266623,"sku":"9780060565312","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_331b6b9f-5046-4e3c-8d07-f3c0e8b33a6f.jpg?v=1685009119","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wilderness-warrior-douglas-brinkley-9780060565312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
