"The home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt's Val-Kill, and FDR's retirement retreat Top Cottage are all extraordinary places that embrace a truly remarkable legacy of land stewardship. They embody FDR's special relationship with his family estate, a fascinating story that helped set the stage for conservation programs he launched across the nation. This Historic Resource Study tells that story fully for the first time."--Foreword. Includes bibliographical references and index.
