Beschreibung:
Marking the centennial of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, Palisades: 100,000 Acres in 100 Years celebrates the unique series of parklands, many within sight of the Empire State Building, that is the Palisades Interstate Park. Beginning with the efforts of Elizabeth Vermilye of the New Jersey Federation of Women's Clubs, who enlisted President Theodore Roosevelt's support to stop the blasting and quarrying of Palisades rock, this book traces the story of the famous -- including J. P. Morgan, the Rockerfellers, and the Harrimans -- and not-so-famous men and women whose donations of time and money led to the preservation of New York and New Jersey's most scenic and historic lands.
