Description: In this celebration of one of America's most enduring symbols, former ranger Charles "Butch" Farabee briefly revives the evolution of this national symbol.
Review Quotes: A Sweeping treatment of the topic, going back in time several thousand years (to trace the orgin of the word "ranger") and coming down to the present. The book is a fascinating compendium of information including the "Symbols of protection" (badges, buttons, the Stetson hat and NPS arrowhead); the evolution of interpretation; resource management; law enforcement and vistor services.
