Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Living History in the National Park System
One of the most dramatic and popular aspects of National Park Service interpretation is a program called Living History. Not exactly new, but slowly evolving through the years, it is a demonstration of a historic feature of the park, and it has created a whole new field of activities for the interpreters; they have become specialists in skills and crafts long forgotten. For example, they may show the oper ation of the ironworks at Saugus, or a whisky still at Catoctin Mountain, or they may instruct moun tain climbers at Grand Teton. Some demonstrations deal with a single action or craft, such as firing an 18-century musket or weaving an Indian basket, while others illustrate the everyday life of a military camp, a farm, or a period home.
