eleanor roosevelt said he knows every flower, note, create any hudson river valley. and i can rattle off national parks. he created big bend on dd. the normandy invasion was going on. he created 800 state parks and planted the civilian conservation corps trees. the first two waves, the third wave is this book. it's about three presidents, no roosevelt. it happened after 1945, the atomic age. we started blowing up nuclear weapons in nevada. we detonated 1054 nuclear weapons between 1946-1991. there became an anti-nuclear testing movement which rachel carson was a part of and many others. khairat asked scott king, norman cousins, albert schweitzer. under kennedy we stopped testing with nuclear weapons and made a deal with khrushchev in britain so we don't test those weapons. in my book i ended with kennedy who loved cape cod. point raise in california, padre island texas. he was trying to save shorelines before he was killed. i deal with things like the first big clean air act of 1963. lyndon and lady bird johnson had a rancher's of conservations. lady bird was about b

so unlike many of you i've been visiting the hudson river valley for 45 years. and one of the last things, roosevelt's before he died was that he wanted to go home to the river. and all of us here what he meant. so i want to thank you also for your warm welcome. i'm of living a once in a lifetime experience where i've never had a book that sparks the reaction and this one does. the people are passionate in love with it, and i find it a little bit destabilizing. and i really used why this book took seven years to research and write and publish. and some of that was the worst years of my life. i got sick. i was really shut in an invalid for a year and a half. so when that finally came out for people to really love it, it's sort of like when a woman goes through a pregnancy and labor and then everyone goes, look at your beautiful. and she goes, mom. so that's sort of where i am right now? so you'll have to forgive me. but before i get into talk, i want to talk about an incredible thing that happened. so a ago, the head of history for the of defense invited me to gi
