The Forest Service and the Greatest Good: A Centennial History

The Forest Service and the Greatest Good: A Centennial History traces the agency's development from its beginnings as a one-man research outfit to today's broad-based operation of over 3 , employees overseeing 9 million acres of public land. Richly illustrated, The Forest Service and the Greatest Good provides an entertaining, thought-provoking, and informative account of the U.S. Forest Service's first one hundred years as it enters a new century of service.

This is a companion book to the documentary The Greatest Good: A Forest Service Centennial Film (U.S. Forest Service, 2 5).
