A 1901 magazine article arguing for the exclusion of sheep from the United States forest reserves, especially the Sierra Reserve in California. The author, drawing on John Muir's remarks and accounts from mountaineers and ranchers, sets out charges that sheep destroy seedlings and grasses, compact or pulverize the soil and cause runoff, contribute to forest fires, and contaminate town water supplies. He concludes that government exclusion of sheep is wise and has majority support.
