About This Item
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1963. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Although other Secretaries of the Department of the Interior wrote books, this is the only one released to a popular audience during the Secretary's tenure. A national bestseller, it became one of the imporant books of the environmental movement. Stewart Udall (1920-2010) has the distinction of being the longest tenured Secretary of the Interior, serving the entirety of both John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson's presidencies. Inscribed by Udall on the first free endpaper in the year of publication. First Printing. xiii, 209 pp. Slight wear and scuffing to dust jackets, small chips at edges, bumping to corners, small losses at head and foot of spine, now in mylar cover. Blue cloth boards with a whisper of soiling along the top edge, spotting on foredges of text block, clean within.
