Images of America – Petrified Forest National Park

Celebrate more than a hundred years of preservation with never before seen pictures of Petrified Forest National Park. Available September 28 and available to pre-order to be shipped as soon as it arrives! Written by Petrified Forest’s own Chief of Resource Management, Dr. William G. Parker, this book represents the Petrified Forest National Park in historical pictures beginning with the early days before park establishment and continues through the present. The park has been a crossroads for travelers and a destination for scientists, including Albert Einstein and John Muir. As a worksite of the Civilian Conservation Corps, the only national park crossed by the famous Route 66, and a centerpiece of the National Park Service’s Mission 66 initiative, Petrified Forest National Park has a history that rivals that of more familiar national parks. This book is a “must-have” for any fan of Petrified Forest, Route 66, or the Civilian Conservation Corps – a true treasure trove of historical photos and facts.
