Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Greatest Park, in the World Palisades Interstate Park Its Purpose, History and Achievements A casual trip to Bear Mountain first brought to me the realization that the Atlantic seaboard had at last secured a great park. And two vacation seasons spent among its natural beauties and in enjoyment of its offerings to the public have made me, as it has a host of others, most enthusiastic and optimistic as to its present and future. And that others may enjoy what I have enjoyed so much, and he benefited as I have been, has been the inspiration of this little book. My relation with the Park Commission has been no closer than that of hundreds of others who have become interested in this great project. For this reason this book can be considered in no way as being official or, so far as I am aware, reflecting the sentiments or plans of the Commission. Consequently, it is in no way an advertisement of the park or of any individual connected with it in an official capacity. I wish, however, to express my appreciation of the courtesies extended to me by the Commission and for assistance rendered by it in securing data. There is a great deal of interesting information which space has not permitted me to use, as it has been my thought to present only such a summary as would direct attention to and arouse interest in what I firmly believe to be one of the greatest opportunities ever placed before a State or municipality for securing healthful vacation pleasures at small cost. What Palisades Interstate Park has done for me it offers you, and if this little book enables you to secure a more bountiful share in its offerings or enlists you in the rapidly growing army of its enthusiastic friends, I shall feel I have added my mite to the world´s work.
