Description
Stewart Brandborg discusses dissent within the Wilderness Society regarding the organization’s support for the wilderness bill, which ultimately became the 1964 Wilderness Act. A number of members feared that their support, particularly through lobbying Congress, threatened their tax-exempt status. He also discusses his departure from the National Wildlife Federation, his relationship with Federation director Charles Callison, and his work with Howard Zahniser of the Wilderness Society. Other topics include Brandborg’s opposition to the Penny Cliffs and Bruces Eddy dams on Idaho’s Clearwater River, as well as the role of Senators Clarence Cannon and Richard Neuberger in conservation efforts preventing the Penny Cliffs dam.
