Title: New park ranger book by Mike Lynch Author: Staff Writer Publisher: International Police Association: Region 29 Bulletin Date: March 2009 Past IPA National President and Auburn State Park Ranger Mike Lynch is back with another book on a favorite subject of his. The new book details the history of California's state park rangers. A 35-year veteran of the State Parks Department, Lynch is currently serving as acting superintendent for the Auburn State Recreation Area. He's worked in the recreation area in the canyon near Auburn for more than three decades. Lynch has appeared in books both as a subject and author. Lynch is the author or co-author in his own right of four books, starting with 1996's "Rangers of California's State Parks" and including 2004's "Auburn Images," 2005's "Insignia of the California Resources Agency" and "American River Canyon Hikes," also in 2005. Lynch, is known as the authority on the many and varied bridges that have spanned the north and middle forks in the vicinity of the American River confluence. VISUAL HISTORY TOUR His "California State Park Rangers" provides a visual tour of the history of the men and women who have protected some treasured Golden State landmarks for more than 100 years. Lynch starts from the beginning. The first park ranger in the world was appointed in California in 1866. Galen Clark was chosen as "Guardian of Yosemite," at what was then Yosemite State Park. From there, Lynch guides readers through chapters on everything from celebrity encounters to brushes with bad guys. There are even a few Auburn-area photos in the mix. The majority of the images come from the state park ranger anniversary photograph collection and there are more than 200 of them. Lynch has a couple of goals in keeping with the spirit of the book. He said, "I hope the book will help someone to seek a career as a park ranger, with a realistic idea of what ranger work involves." And a portion of the proceeds will be donated to a good cause - the state park anniversary committee.
Synopsis
The first park ranger in the world was appointed in California in 1866. Galen Clark was chosen as Guardian of Yosemite, at what was then Yosemite State Park, and the concept of rangers to protect and administer America s great nature parks was born. The tradition continued in 1872 with the establishment of the first national park at Yellowstone. From the earliest days, park rangers have been romanticized; they are explorers, outdoorsmen, tree lovers, animal protectors, police officers, nature guides, and park administrators. The park ranger has become an American icon, whose revered image has maintained itself to this very day.", The first park ranger in the world was appointed in California in 1866.

    Another in an excellent series of local history

    This book is another fine example of what, for lack of a better term, I call “micro history”. Not the story of gigantic forces crashing into each other, but the story of a town, or an individual, or, as here, the creation and history of an agency that is responsible for part of the recreational experience of forty million people. I bought this as a gift for my cousin, who is a retired California State Park Ranger.

    Better than some. Book has questions.

    Enjoyed the reading but it lacked the honest research.
