<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The magnificent Three Sisters Wilderness, straddling the Cascade mountain range, beckons adventurers from around the world. One of the original fifty-four of the more than eight hundred such areas designated by Congress, it is Oregon's second-largest most visited and accessible wilderness. Championed by citizens of Bend, Eugene and beyond, its preservation under the Wilderness Act of 1964 was a community-wide effort to keep the dramatic vistas and diverse ecosystems available for all to enjoy. Join author Les Joslin as he explores the origins of the wilderness concept, the natural and cultural history of the Three Sisters country and the stewardship that preserves what is termed an enduring resource of wilderness.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>I just finished reading The Three Sisters Wilderness and I want to thank you for writing it! It's a treasure of information for those of us interested both in our continued use of the Three Sisters Wilderness as well as the problems of Wilderness management in the United States in general. Many of us have visited Wilderness areas over our lifetimes, and greatly enjoyed those visits, without understanding the government challenge of maintaining Wilderness values under the pressure of current population. We need that understanding if people in the future are going to be able to enjoy the Wilderness as we have. - <i>Professor Drannon Hamby (Ph.D. Chemistry)</i><br>
