Bruggeman sifts through years of park records to reconstruct negotiations of power among unexpected claimants on Washington's memory. By paying close attention to material culture, he reveals the centrality of race and gender in the construction of Washington's public memory and reminds us that national parks have not always welcomed all Americans.
