way, and to say a word about its authors. Horace Albright has served 

 the national parks since the service was organized, first as assistant 

 director in Washington and then in the field. He is an indefatigable 

 worker, a true lover of the mountains. He knows the rangers and un 

 doubtedly knows the parks better than any other man in the service. 

 Frank Taylor has been a friend of the parks for many years, as news 

 paperman and writer. He, too, has spent much time in them and has 

 helped bring their possibilities to the attention of the people. It is a 

 happy circumstance that two men who themselves have the genuine 

 spirit of the rangers and who are so intimately informed in the affairs of 

 the parks and their people should have collaborated to produce this book.
