"Republican representative John Saylor of Pennsylvania told his colleagues as he first unveiled the proposed Wilderness Act in 1956, 'The stress and strain of our crowded, fast-moving, highly-mechanized and raucously noisy civilization create another great need for wilderness - a deep need for areas of solitude and quiet, for areas of wilderness where life has not yet given way to machinery.' "
Doug Scott, "Our Wilderness: America's Common Ground"
