This 1907 edition of “The Passing of the Storm King, Alfred Castner” by Alfred Castner King is a fascinating glimpse into the early conservation movement in the United States. King, a pioneering environmentalist and writer, was deeply concerned about the destruction of the natural landscape, particularly in the Palisades region along the Hudson River. Through vivid descriptions and impassioned prose, he brought attention to the need for preserving these iconic cliffs and forests. King’s efforts, along with those of other early conservationists, ultimately led to the creation of the Palisades Interstate Park in 1900, one of the first major victories for the American environmental movement. This book not only captures the beauty of the Storm King Mountain and its surroundings but also serves as a powerful call to action, making it a significant piece of American environmental literature and a must-have for collectors interested in the origins of the conservation movement.
