Ora Anderson - A Forest Returns
Ora Anderson was a journalist living in Southeastern Ohio during the Great Depression. In an oral history, he recalls the environmental and social conditions that led to the establishment of the Wayne National Forest. Along with historical photographs, Ora Anderson’s first-hand account gives life to a significant chapter of American history with clarity, hope, and a uniquely Appalachian perspective.
