Dispossessing the Wilderness: Indian Removal and the Making of the National Parks
Spence, Mark David (Assistant Professor of History, Assistant Professor of History, Knox College, Illinois)
Examining the ideal of wilderness preservation in the USA, the author shows how the early (antebellum era) conceptions of the wilderness as the place where Indians lived gave way to the idealization of uninhabited wilderness. The policies of Indian removal at Yosemite and other parks are explored.
