Lands of Brighter Destiny:
The Public Lands of the American West

A very early effort to introduce to the American public the wealth of public lands of the American West, while also looking at the issues inherent in competing interests for use of their resources. Also included interviews with policymakers of the day with very different views on the importance of the Land. Commissioned by Fulcrum Books.

As I sat on the rocky bank, I watched a thousand years of the life and the rhythms of survival pass during one sunset; a thousand moments of evolution and creation marching forward to this one moment of life and death. The time passed invisibly before my eyes, destruction and creation in the one eternity and one millisecond I observed on the hill overlooking the Toklat River. It was nourishment of life itself, by life feeding on life just as the dark rolled into dusk and then on, into new days...



"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."  
Reputedly the last words of Crowfoot
Blackfoot (Siksika) chief
