Document Summary
Began to see it as a wilderness preserve: some saw the park as an expensive waste of space, a railroad wanted to go through the park but for the irst ime wilderness withstood a direct confrontaion with civilizaion. The idea of preservaion followed: people agreed that it should be let untouched to ensure the balance of uility and enjoyment. It should be preserved to ensure not only a place for recreaion, but to provide water for the rest of the state. Wilderness preservaion and commercial prosperity were ied together: it did not require a love of wilderness to come to the defence of the adirondacks, however lawmakers began to appreciate the preservaion of wilderness for non- uilitarian reasons.
