- Title:
- A letter from Miles Romney, publisher of the Western News of Hamilton, MT to Congressman Arnold Olsen, concerning the Magruder controversy.
- Creator:
- Romney, Miles
- Date Created (ISO Standard):
- 1965-05-03
- Description:
- This letter comes from Romney's response to Secretary Freeman's decisions as of 1965 regarding the status of the Magruder Corridor. Romney is very careful not to criticize Freeman directly, but states that he believes that Freeman's beliefs regarding the best use of the Corridor are founded on misinformation provided by lobbies who wish to see the area turned into a source of timber and nothing more. Romeny rebuts this position with a combination of scientific evidence and his own personal reminiscences of growing up in the area.
