  • The Pioneers-Establishing the Concept of Forestry in the Southwest, 1905-24
    Chapter 6 - The Pioneers-Establishing the Concept of Forestry in the Southwest, 1905-24 Ranching, lumbering, and mining were well established in the Southwest long before the earliest foresters or conservationists made their appearance. Ranchers grazed their cattle and sheep, loggers cut timber and chopped firewood, and prospectors explored for gold, silver, and copper on the public domain, almost as a right with no one disputing their course. The General Land Office of the Department of the Interior, which had jurisdiction over the Federal lands, was primarily interested in selling them. Anyone could buy land, usually at the minimum price of $1.25 per acre, either in large or small quantities. Homestead laws were generous, and settlers could claim 160 acres for each adult member of their family. Various special laws, such as the Timber Culture Act, and even more subterfuges enabled businessmen and corporations to acquire large blocks of land without paying even at the minimum price. Ranchers, accustomed to free use of the range, preferred to retain open access to the resources of the public domain-grass, water, timber, and minerals. They protested bitterly when Federal regulations curbed their frontier attitude. In like manner, ranchers, loggers, and others also invaded the railroad lands, taking what they wished and giving no thought to the long-range future of the region. The railroads, particularly the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific, had few men to patrol their lands and found local opinion solidly against them when and if they attempted to prosecute trespassers for misappropriating property. This state of affairs was normal in the territories of Arizona and New Mexico for the last 50 years of the 19th century, from American annexation in 1848 to 1900.

These archival hold­ ings, now amounting to about 900,000 cubic feet, date from the days of the Continental Congresses; they include the basic records of the three branches of our Government-­ Congress, the courts, and the executive departments and independent agencies. The Presidential Libraries.. - Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower--contain the papers of those Presidents and many of their associates in office. Among our holdings are many hallowed documents relating to great events of our Nation's history, preserved and ven­ erated as symbols to stimulate a worthy patriotism in all of us. But most of the records are l~ss dramatic, kept because of their continuing practical utility for the ordinary proc­ esses of government, for the protection of private rights, and for the research use of students and scholars. To facilitatethe use of the records and to describetheir nature and content, our archivists prepare various kinds of finding aids. The present work is one suchpublication. We believe that it will prove valuable to anyone who wishes to use the records it describes. LAWSON B. KNOTT, JR.

  • National Forests of Arizona and New Mexico. the Sunshine Ground
    Historic, archived document Do not assume content reflects current scientific knowledge, policies, or practices. The Sunshine Recreation Ground of a Nation PREVENT FOREST FIRES ------IT PAYS—= U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOREST SERVICE SOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT NATIONAL FORESTS OF ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO OOVERMMENT PRINTING OPTICS 8—4903 THE NATIONAL FORESTS The National Forests were created to insure a perpetual timber supply, to preserve the forest cover which regulates the flow of streams, and to provide for the use of all their resources in the ways which will make them of largest service to the greatest number. • Chief among these resources are timber and grass. National Forest timber is handled as a crop, new stands being grown to replace the mature trees as they are cut. The ripe timber is sold on the stump to the highest bidder. Many cattle, horses, and sheep are permitted on the National Forests under the Forest Service grazing regulations, which are designed to protect and encourage the small stockman. The ranges are handled under scientific methods in order that they will not deteriorate. Permits for many other uses, not incompatible with the growing of timber, are also allowed on the National Forests. HUNTING AND FISHING The National Forests are the natural homes of game of all sorts. The Service is waging a continuous fight for the proper usage of this game, not especially from an esthetic viewpoint, even though there is in all nature nothing so full of beauty and grace as a deer in motion, but from the more practical point of maintaining this highest form of recreation at its very best and for the complete utilization of the vast areas so well adapted to the production of game without interference with other modern uses.

  • The Forests and Fire
    Chapter 12 - The Forests and Fire Although intensive grazing practices contributed to the deterioration of forest rangelands before the turn of the century, and range management occupied a great portion of the time and attention of the Forest Service in the Southwestern Region, forest fire control and prevention seemed no less critical to the protection and management of the southwestern forests and to the welfare of the region. Early foresters, as did the general public, believed fire to be the preeminent threat to forest resources. Fire was the most sudden, obvious, and radical cause of forest deterioration. The newly created national forests of the Southwest bore mute testimony of the lasting damage or alteration caused by fire. As time passed, fire prevention and control became so effective that the growth and development of southwestern forests became as markedly affected by the absence of fire as they had previously been affected by fires of earlier centuries. Damage from range and forest fires incurred in the times of the Indians and Spanish or Anglo- American settlers and before the establishment of the first forest reserves was in some areas extensive and long-lasting. In other areas, fire damage had been minimal, and ancient fires may have fostered maintenance of the subclimax pine forests. There is evidence that fires that burned in the pre-Columbian, Spanish colonial, and Mexican eras were more widespread and destructive than those of modern times. For example, about 200 years ago, a fire in the region of the San Francisco peaks in northern Arizona burned approximately 18,000 acres.
