If you find out who it was Paul, please post it - it was great and got my attention from the start, really set the tone for the documentary

Thanks...

On the content regarding the Indians, it's pretty sad - he was right on point, the thrill of discovery for the explorers neglects the fact that there was already an indigenous civilization there long before the first white men found it

While preserving the parks was a noble deed, what was done to the native population who lived on that land for thousands of years was a lot less so...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
