A History of the Six Rivers National Forest... Commemorating the First 50 Years

This is a shortened version of a Six Rivers National Forest history written to commemorate the forest's fiftieth anniversary. In the seven weeks of researching and writing it, many individuals contributed to the project. I want to specially acknowledge Patti Bailey at the National Records Center. Thanks also to Richard Boyden at the National Records Center, Waverly Lowell at the National Archives, Brian Morris at the Smith River National Recreation Area, and Ted Hatzimanolis and Vern Hallin, former foresters on the Six Rivers National Forest. Finally my thanks to Heather Busam for her hard work, tenacity, and good humor in laying-out this book and to Ken Wilson for believing in and promoting this idea.
