Seller's Description:
Photos by Constance Baxter. VG PB. "Everything in connection with the Park must be left simple and natural and must remain as nearly as it was when only the. Indians and the animals roamed at will through these areas. I want it made availaable to persons of moderate means who, with their boys and girls, with their packs of bedding and food, can tramp through the woods, cook a steak and made flapjacks by the lakes and brooks. Every section of this area is beautiful, each in its own way. I not want ti locked up and made inaccessible, I want it used to the fullest extent but in the right, unspoiled way." Great grandniece Constance Baxter's photos are amazing.
