Part Two: Wild by Law
By mid-twentieth century civilization had erased
much of America’s natural landscape. As wilderness shrank,
the movement to protect it grew – and eventually America did
what no other country in the world had ever done: it created a law
to protect its remaining wild lands forever. Wild by Law is the
story of the Wilderness Act of 1964 and the three men responsible
for its passage: Aldo Leopold, the naturalist who first brought
the word “ecology” into standard use; Bob Marshall, the
millionaire socialist who founded the Wilderness Society; Howard
Zahniser, a tireless bureaucrat with a profound love for the wild
places he seldom saw.
