for THE NEAR GRAZING OF CLACIER, BY JOHN CLAYTON, DISTINCTLY GLACIER, MAY 2021. Thank you for publishing this highly informative article regarding the near catastrophic grazing plan for Glacier National Park, for food production during the Great War in Europe. Thank God for great thinkers like Horace Albright in 1917, in having foreseen the great environmental damage that sheep grazing could and would do to western lands, including our country's great National Parks. I was astounded to learn about such environmental damage firsthand over a lifetime of hunting and hiking in the Northern Rockies. There's a place in the world for sheep grazing, but only where grass and rain are far more plentiful than the American West -- such as in Ireland and much of Great Britain. where the sheep can be managed and rotated among small fenced fields for a few days at a time. Clearly, Horace Albright understood that about such grazing far better than most of us Americans will ever understand. Thanks for educating us further on this important matter.
