The Early Years of the Bitterroot Forest Reserve: Major Frank Fenn Reports to Washington Item Info

This is a compilation of a number of documents, and contains an introduction written by Dennis Baird. Some of this introduction appears to be missing, but what is present provides some historical context to the main text, which is a 1901 report from Ranger Frank Fenn written in response to an argument by a Judge Heyburn that the then-called Bitterroot Reserve needed to be shrunk in size. Fenn argues against this idea. At the end of the document are two maps: one shows the Bitterroot Reserve as it was originally established, and the other shows its boundaries in 1907.
