Preferred term

George Perkins Marsh  

Definition

  • George Perkins Marsh is a figure often overlooked by historians of Western conservation movements and overshadowed by the later achievements of individuals such as Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, Aldo Leopold, and Rachel Carson. Nonetheless, through his groundbreaking work Man and Nature (first published in 1864), Marsh provided one of the earliest arguments supporting the conservation of natural resources in the United States.
