Focusing on conservation's impact on local inhabitants, Karl Jacoby traces the effect of criminalizing such traditional practices as hunting, fishing, foraging, and timber cutting in the newly created parks. Jacoby reassesses the nature of these "crimes" and provides a rich portrait of rural people and their relationship with the natural world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.National parks and reservesSocial aspectsUnited StatesNature conservationSocial aspectsUnited StatesNational parks and reservesUnited StatesHistory19th century american history.20th century american history.adirondacks.american conservation.american history.american west.conservation.conservationists.crimes against nature.environmental history.fishing.foraging.grand canyon.history.hunting.john muir.local inhabitants.national parks.natural resources.natural world.nature.parklands.poachers.poverty.president roosevelt.rural people.squatters.teddy roosevelt.theodore roosevelt.thieves.timber cutting.united states of america.yellowstone.National parks and reservesSocial aspectsNature conservationSocial aspectsNational parks and reservesHistory.333.78/0973Jacoby Karl161799MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789289803321Crimes against nature2471804UNINA
