- Description:
- This Memorandum from E. C. Slusher, Chief of the Wilderness management Branch, to E. F. Barry, Assistant Regional Forester, is the first official correspondence to discuss how the Salmon River Breaks Primitive Area should be classified. Slusher calls for an extensive study of the area, but already two opposite camps have formed, represented by the Nezperce and the Bitterroot administrators. The former want to keep the area primitive with no permanent resorts while the latter want to include provisions for resorts in the final language of the official classification. This difference in opinion in the Forest Service has defined, and continues to influence, the way wilderness areas are understood.
