Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Irving Newton Brant (January 17, 1885-September 18, 1976) was a biographer, journalist, and historian, was born in Walker, Iowa. He was a reporter and editorial writer for the St. Louis Star-Times from 1918 to 1923, and 1930 to 1938. He is best known for his six-volume scholarly biography of James Madison. Brant wrote about conservation of natural resources for magazines and in 1930 was a founder of the Emergency Conservation Committee. Brant advised President Franklin Roosevelt and Harold Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, on conservation issues, including proposing recommendations for the enlargement of the Olympic National Park.
Historical BackgroundReturn to Top
On June 29, 1938, President Roosevelt signed H.R. 10024, a bill which abolished Mount Olympus National Monument, established 634,000 acres for Olympic National Park, and authorized the future addition of more than 250,000 acres at the president's discretion. Planning for the new park was carried out in the summer of 1938 by a committee led by Harold L. Ickes (Secretary of the Interior 1933-1945). Ickes appointed journalist and conservationist Irving Brant as a consultant to the 14 western national parks. During the summer of 1938, Brant inspected Olympic National Park and submitted a report that endorsed adding ten areas comprising 226,656 acres. He included acreage around Lake Crescent, the administrative site next to Port Angeles, the high plateau area of Deer Park, Hurricane Hill, Obstruction Point, and the forested valleys of the Elwha, Bogachiel, Queets, and Quinault rivers. Brant conferred with Ickes, who recognized the sensitivity of the project and removed the Quinault area to appease timber interests. Two presidential orders, one issued in 1940 by Roosevelt and a January 6, 1953, executive order signed by Harry S. Truman, completed the establishment of the large peninsula park that its proponents envisioned. The 1940 addition included the forests of the Bogachiel, Calawah, Hoh, Queets, Quinault, and Elwha valleys. The 1953 addition included the Queets Corridor, the Ocean strip, and a seven-mile exchange area of the Bogachiel Valley.

Man standing among growth of Douglas fir trees in the
Elwha River Valley
Written on page: This is the way the Douglas fir grows in
the Elwha River Valley, cut off by mountains from the Pacific slope rainfall.
"Small old growth" fir in the Elwha runs into millions of board feet, but is of
practically no commercial value.

Man standing in a grassy area surrounded by maple
trees
Written on page: In the maple trees of the "rain forest," moss
of tropical luxuriance hangs in festoons. To lumbermen, such trees are mere
obstacles to the logging of other species. One touch of the axe, and the beauty
of the forest is destroyed.

Man standing beside a Sitka spruce and western hemlock
growing out of a fallen Sitka spruce in the Queets River Valley
Written on page: One of the marvels of the "rain forest" is
the rooting of living trees on fallen logs and stumps. A Sitka spruce, three
feet thick, and a western hemlock (two feet), grow at an angle out of the stump
of a fallen Sitka spruce on which they took root, ten feet above the ground,
more than a hundred years ago. Queets River Valley.

Between July and August 1938 |

Man standing beside trees rooted on a fallen log in the
Queets River Valley
Written on page: Twenty-three trees (21 hemlocks, a spruce and
a maple) took root on a fallen log in the Queets River Valley and now form this
living wall of wood. Fallen trees seem essential to the reproduction of hemlock
in these wet valleys.

Woman standing beside tree growing out of the stump of

Pack train comprised of three riders and seven horses

the fall of one, did no worse than the most careful selective logger would have

Steep hillside covered with fallen and logged
trees
Written on page: Logging of steep hillsides, like this one,
results in the tearing out of small trees. These form a high fire hazard (there
is a fire warning sign on the nearest standing tree forbidding anybody to enter
this cut over tract), and serious erosion is certain to follow. A large
proportion of the forest lands proposed for addition to the national park are
so steep that logging would produce results like this.

tenacity of life, due to its habit of building fluted columns of new tissue
over a dead trunk. There will be too few of these magnificent conifers in the
park, even when extensively enlarged.
