Yosemite Mafia: the Turbulent 1970s by Jim Brady PDF Summary

Book Description: This is the story of a group of people called the "Yosemite Mafia"--special people in a special time and place. The 1970s were a confusing political and social time for the country. The national parks suddenly became an optimal stage for young people to gather, express their anger at global events, and enjoy the freedom of the outdoors. This relatively new non-traditional park visitor introduced a very different visitor attitude, often accompanied with unrest and violence. National Park Service rangers in Yosemite added to their traditional roles of controlling fires, relocating bears, and serving as outdoor educators with expanding law enforcement duties and earning the name of Tree Fuzz or Pine Pigs. These trying times, however, also bonded together a group of rangers who were passionate about what they were protecting: Yosemite, an iconic treasure. In this book, Jim Brady introduces the Yosemite Mafia, bringing together the group of rangers who re-visit those turbulent times and describe the team efforts, interactions, and operational results through their stories.
