The Wilderness Act

"If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them  something more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it."  Lyndon Johnson, when he signed the the Wilderness Act
