Final Days in Santa Fe Notes Bibliography Index Review "Skillfully weaving personal correspondence, congressional machinations, and Udalls private writings, Smith achieves more than a straightforward political biography. He captures Stewart Udalls fascinating interior world without losing sight of the many initiatives he pursued."--The Journal of Arizona History"Smiths greatest achievement in this book is his portrayal of Udall as a key figure in a pivotal period in American conservation history. . . . Smiths biography is certainly timely in its focus on the critically important but relatively low national profile of the office of Secretary of the Interior and on one of its most consequential leaders."--National Parks Traveler Review Quote "Smiths greatest achievement in this book is his portrayal of Udall as a key figure in a pivotal period in American conservation history. . . .
