The National Wilderness Preservation System Act of 1964
An Act to establish a National Wilderness Preservation System for the permanent good of the whole people, and for other purposes.
In order to assure that an increasing population, accompanied by expanding settlement and growing mechanization, does not occupy and modify all areas within the United States and its possessions, leaving no lands designated for preservations and protection in their natural condition, it is hereby declared to be the policy of the Congress to secure for the American people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness. For this purpose, there is hereby established a National Wilderness Preservation System to be composed of federally owned areas designated by Congress as “wilderness areas,” and these shall be administered in such manner as will leave them unimpaired for future use and enjoyment as wilderness, and so provide for the protection of these areas, the preservation of their wilderness character, and for the gathering and dissemination of information regarding their use and enjoyment as wilderness …

A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of live are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.
An area of wilderness is further defined to mean in this Act an area of undeveloped Federal land remaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation, which is protected and managed so as to preserve its natural conditions and which…
(1) Generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man’s work substantially unnoticeable;
(2) has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation;
(3) has at least five thousand acres of land or is of sufficient size as to make practicable its preservation and use in an unimpaired condition; and …
(4) may also contain ecological, geological, or other features of scientific, educational, scenic, or historical value.

Emergence of a “tourist sensibility” in which picturesque or sublime landscapes and waterscapes become objects of mass cultural consumption.
Importance of landscape scenery as an element of taste and its conversion into a saleable commodity through marketing.
Developing links between the landscape, nation, nationalism, and national history, especially the myth of the frontier.
Deepening fascination with aboriginal peoples and “the primitive,” both as standards against which to measure the progress of Western Civilization, and as ideals of freedom, authenticity, and masculinity.

•Delbert: A miracle, a miracle!
•Clooney: Don’t be ignorant, Delbert. I told you they was flooding this valley.
•Pete: No! That ain’t it. We prayed to God, and he pitied us.
•Clooney: Well, it never fails. Once again you two hayseeds are showing how much you want for intellect. There is a perfectly scientific explanation for what just happened.
•Pete: I hate to tell you that’s not the thing you said back at the gallows.
•Clooney: Well, human beings cast about in a moment of stress, … no … the fact is that they’re flooding this valley so they can hydroelectric up the whole durn state. Yes Sir, South’s going to change. Everything’s goin’ to be put on electricity and run on a paying basis. Out with the old spiritual mumbo-jumbo, the superstitions, and the backwoods ways. We’re going to see a BRAVE NEW WORLD where they run everyone a wire and hook us all up to a grid. Yes sir, a veritable AGE OF REASON, like the one they had in France. Not a moment too soon … not a moment too soon …

Wilderness in relative rather than absolute terms; not concerned with the ideal of “ecological purity.”
Sons of Gifford Pinchot: scientific and technical experts who were critical of the single-minded commodity focus of scientific forestry and water projects, but also believed in wise and scientific management of wildlands for the public good..
Believed that wilderness designations could be compatible with local subsistence and resource use.
Pragmatists who were discomforted by the effects of automobile tourism, road-building, mass consumerism on wildlands.
