Abstract
Abstract From 2010 to 2014, the author directed the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness History Project, whose mission was to chronicle the human history of one of America’s largest wilderness areas. Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the project was a joint effort between Washington State University, the University of Idaho, and the US Forest Service. She interviewed mule packers, backpackers, river rangers, river outfitters, Forest Service employees, backcountry pilots, a Native American tour guide, artists, educators, scientists, archivists, volunteers, and caretakers of inholdings (three privately held parcels within the wilderness boundary). She wanted to preserve the human history of the wilderness with the same passion that people had used to preserve the land itself.
