Negative Positive
Title: Failed Potential
Review: In the introduction to his book Smith outlines an exciting career of Ranger Service around the country in National Parks and the like. This book, however, is not about that part of his career. This book contains short recollections, neither poignant nor amusing, of Ranger Service in a doomed recreation area (soon to be dammed). The book is more a history of the planned dam than anything else. Smith's fellow Rangers are portrayed as hopeless men who are simply putting in time before retirement or the building of the Dam. Skip this one.
