On Monday we talked about the Romantics, the Hudson River School of painters, the Transcendentalists, Civil Disobedience (H.D. Thoreau), John Brown, and George Perkins Marsh.
Wednesday, we will pick up the story with Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, and the founding of the federal conservation and preservation agencies, as well as the Great Depression and the CCC.
All of these are easily researched online.

I'm sorry to have to say that the number of spam comment postings has required that we turn off anonymous comment posting. There's been a massive boom in what seems like computer-automated spam comments with links to web pages that advertise cheap, nasty, bad-for-you products, mostly cigarettes.
From now on, you'll have to be a registered user to comment on this blog.
If you had something you wanted to say, but really didn't want your name attached to it for some good reason, you should email Mick at mwomersley@unity.edu
I'll protect your confidentiality and post your comment for you.
