It is the simply stated, often humorous accounts of honorable men and rugged living when job training consisted of "Go to it and good luck." The First Ranger is the biographies of Frank Liebig and his comrade Fred Herrig. Frank was the first ranger in the land that became Glacier National Park. He tells of his adventures as a ranger in that magnificent country when it was being settled. Fred Herrig was among the first rangers in Montana's Flathead Forest Reserve of 1897 and in the Kootenai Forest, and as colorful a character as ever roamed the west. He was also a lifelong friend of Theodore Roosevelt. He tells about his times as a wrangler and hunting guide for Roosevelt in the Dakota Badlands and as a Roosevelt Rough Rider. The book was written from the journals of Frank Liebig and Fred Herrig and the accounts of events as passed on to their descendants. It includes a well-researched history of life in the American Northwest. It contains photographs of rangers at work at the turn of the century, seven letters signed by Theodore Roosevelt and pen and ink sketches by E.R. Jenne. A fun, informative read.  for more information click here recommendations Forest Rangers in books and film search for books first ranger, first, ranger      toavi.com    web randomly chosen book: The Law of Attraction, Plain and Simple: Create the Extraordinary Life ...
