Abstract
THE INVOLVEMENT of the historical profession in historic preservation is still in its adolescence. Like adolescents, historians working in preservation move in a world not of their making. The rules and procedures governing the implementation of historic preservation policy were created largely by nonhistorians with little or no consideration of historians' interests. Also like adolescents, some historians adopt rebellious rhetoric, but in the end most try to function within the existing system. The following article traces the attempt of one group of historians to implement historical approaches to a preservation problem, explaining how the Eastern Region of the U.S.D.A. Forest Service sought to deal with the historical legacy of the lumberjack and how a group of historians tried to operate within a system oriented toward archaeology.
