Uncle Sam's Guide to the Great Outdoors
Author: Raphael Sagalyn

WELCOME TO YOUR GREAT OUTDOORS — Meet your new travel expert, Uncle Sam, who will introduce you to all of America's Great Outdoors!   — More than 640 million acres of America are protected and managed for recreational use. — These public lands include far more than the fifty-four famous national parks, such as Yosemite, Yell...  more »owstone, and the Grand Canyon.   They encompass more than one thousand sites, ranging from national forests, scenic rivers, and seashores to battlefields, cultural meccas, and treasure troves of history.

Bring America's outdoors experts to you!

We called upon hundreds of rangers, naturalists, historians, and information officers to find the inside information--tips on where to go, what's special, and what to see--about both well-known and little-known recreational sites, some of which are closer to where you live than you ever imagined.   We give you their mailing addresses, phone numbers, and website addresses, so you can be in touch with them.   You'll be surprised to learn that these experts are all too happy to share their information with you.

Prepare you for your next outdoor adventure. . . and save you money!

The custodians of Uncle Sam's Great Outdoors--in particular, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Forest Service--have prepared brochures, maps, guidebooks, checklists, and posters for all recreational activities, including camping, boating, hunting, fishing, and scenic driving. We show you how to get this invaluable material--often for free or at very low cost.
