Clipped signature affixed to a card with ink caption
Signature: "Gifford Pinchot", 3x1¼ strip, affixed to a 3¼x1½
gray paper, affixed to a 5x3½ card with ink caption (verso of card is portion of
a Christmas card), three surfaces. Pinchot (1865-1946), the first professional
American forester, served as Chief of the Forest Service, U.S. Department of
Agriculture (1898-1910), Professor of Forestry at Yale (1903-1936) and Governor
of Pennsylvania (1923-1927, 1931-1935). During his government service, the
number of national forests increased from 32 in 1898 to 149 in 1910. Pinchot
and his close friend President Theodore Roosevelt made conservation a public
issue and national policy. Today, a state park in Pennsylvania and a
national forest in Washington State bear Pinchot's name. Corners and edges
lightly worn. Soiled.
