The National Parks: America's Best Idea: | PBS

Just watching 12 hours of magnificent program, from a local library...
I love national parks, and I am interested in history, so this is great...

There was not a "grand plan" for national parks,
but instead many individuals from all walks of life
driven to protect the beauty of nature.

And more often than not, creating of national parks
was severely opposed by some businesses looking for quick profit.
In most cases protection prevailed, to make even bigger profit,
and enjoyment for great many people and generations :)

Highly recommended.
