Descriere
The first park ranger in the world was appointed in California in 1866. Galen Clark was chosen as "Guardian of Yosemite," at what was then Yosemite State Park, and the concept of rangers to protect and administer America's great nature parks was born. The tradition continued in 1872 with the establishment of the first national park at Yellowstone. From the earliest days, park rangers have been romanticized; they are explorers, outdoorsmen, tree lovers, animal protectors, police officers, nature guides, and park administrators. The park ranger has become an American icon, whose revered image has maintained itself to this very day.
Recenzii
Title: Outdoor Library: Photo book shows another side of park rangers
Author: Carlos AlcalA
Publisher: The Sacramento Bee
Date: 2/26/2009
A park ranger meets all kinds of oddballs.
In Michael G. Lynch's new book, a ranger confronts a Velma Melmac for defoliating 22 acres in Yosemite.
She does not take it well.
"Mother Nature is a slob and you know it, bug lover," she shouts.
Fortunately, Melmac is not a real problem. She's a comic-strip character named for a brand of plastic dinnerware of the 1950s.
But there are plenty of genuine do-badders in Lynch's new Images of America book, "California State Park Rangers" (Arcadia, $21.95, 128 pages).
There are nudists at beaches, poachers in the woods and pot farmers in isolated mountain areas.
Park rangers have had to deal with a lot since Galen Clark was put in charge of Yosemite in 1866.
Lynch captures it all, from Clark to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the 200-photo book.
Lynch, a retired ranger who is back working as the interim superintendent for the Auburn State Recreation Area, is the de facto historian for rangers.
He began collecting the photos in 1990 and approached Arcadia Publishing, which generally publishes photo histories of towns, communities or neighborhoods under the Images of America name.
When Arcadia agreed to the project, he already had 1,500 photographs.
"It was a matter of winnowing them down to the 200 that best told the story," Lynch said.
The story includes Velma Melmac, the creation of cartoonist Phil Frank, who was made an honorary park ranger.
It also includes depictions of an outdoor magazine'sshort-lived plan to have pin-up faux ranger centerfolds, a ranger vehicle stuck in the dunes, and a sprinkling of cute baby forest animals.
Of course, it also tells the serious story of State Parks' establishment and how parks have been used through the decades.
The focus is on the rangers who patrolled and protected the parks, their natural assets and the people who visited them.
The book is available beginning Monday, and will be sold in bookstores, park gift shops and online at arcadiapublishing.com.
Title: New park ranger book penned by Auburn author
Author: Gus Thomson
Publisher: Auburn Journal
Date: 2/12/2009
Auburn State Park Ranger Mike Lynch is back with another book on a favorite subject of his.
The new book details the history of Californiaas state park rangers.
A 35-year veteran of the State Parks Department, Lynch is currently serving as acting supervisor for the Auburn State Recreation Area. Heas worked in the recreation area in the canyon near Auburn for more than three decades.
Lynch has appeared in books both as a subject and author.
When Jordan Fisher Smithas aNature Noira came out four years ago, it wasnat too hard for Auburn-savvy readers to figure out that the ranger named aDave Fincha who played a role in many of the stories surrounding the American River Canyon was actually Lynch.
On the other end of the word processor, Lynch is the author or co-author in his own right of four books, starting with 1996as aRangers of Californiaas State Parksa and including 2004as aAuburn Images, a 2005as aInsignia of the California Resources Agencya and aAmerican River Canyon Hikes, a also in 2005.
Lynch, known as the authority on the many and varied bridges that have spanned the north and middle forks in the vicinity of the American River confluence, has now joined a couple of other local history experts in creating fascinating books for Arcadia Publishing that feature historical images and illuminating text.
Carmel Barry-Schweyer, who recently retired as Placer County archives curator, started things off in 2004 with aMining Camps of Placer Countya under the Arcadia imprint. She later penned a second book onRocklin images.
Auburnas Arthur Sommers provided some extraordinary images from his own photo collection to produce a well-received aAuburna book for Arcadia this year. It was so popular that Sommers found no copies available from Arcadia when he wanted some of a December book signing. The first print run had already all been spoken for.
VISUAL HISTORY TOUR
Lynchas book could prove as popular, but on a bigger stage. His aCalifornia State Park Rangersa provides a visual tour of the history of the men and women who have protected some treasured Golden State landmarks for more than 100 years.
Lynch starts from the beginning. The first park ranger in the world was appointed in California in 1866. Galen Clark was chosen as aGuardian of Yosemite, a at what was then Yosemite State Park.
From there, Lynch guides readers through chapters on everything from celebrity encounters to brushes with bad guys. There are even a few Auburn-area photos in the mix.
The majority of the images come from the state park ranger anniversary photograph collection and there are more than 200 of them.
Lynch has a couple of goals in keeping with the spirit of the book.
He said he hopes the book will help someone to seek a career as a park ranger awith a realistic idea of what ranger work involves.a
And a portion of the proceeds will be donated to a good cause a the state park anniversary committee.
aCalifornia State Park Rangersa is getting a wide release at area bookstores, independent retailers and online retailers. Itas part of Arcadiaas Images of America series and goes on sale Feb. 23.
