Early Environmentalism in America

By Debra A. Schwartz

Attitudes are born in history. The environmental history developed in the United States before 1960 reveals hundreds of years of laws and policy decisions created for economic prosperity and that discounted the value of wilderness. Instead, economic return was the central factor in all decisions. From the colonists’ first landing in the country, the goal was natural resource exploitation. As the country developed, attitudes and values toward a broader understanding of the environment evolved. As the country’s basic material needs were addressed, broader spiritual, recreational, and ecological values were slowly adopted within society and by the U.S, federal government as well as state and local governments.

Eventually the consequences of pollution and resource scarcity as well as growing scientific knowledge led public officials to address urban water systems, create national forests and parks, restrict industrial pollution, and regulate hunting and fishing, to name just a few policy areas. Typically, changes prior to 1960 limited industrial contamination of natural resources instead of preventing or removing toxic pollution. This essay addresses the philosophical, economic, and political underpinnings of the evolving relationship between the U.S. government and the environment up to the mid-twentieth century.

As is discussed in this essay, the Romantic movement (1820–1900) and the American Transcendental movement (1836–1850) through the Progressive Era (1880–1920) brought a philosophical context to a new understanding of the natural environment. In the 1950s and 1960s, a new way of thinking about the economy, society, culture, and philosophy in the United States acted on words of caution delivered hundreds of years earlier by Native Americans. A table of inherent differences between technological peoples and native peoples in Jerry Mander’s In the Absence of the Sacred: The Failure of Technology and the Survival of the Indian Nations (Mander, 1992, 214–221) offers some insight into this shift in environmental policy. Mander writes that natives see ‘‘the way’’ as striving for death. Contemporary resistance to the direction in which technology took the nation produced the ecology movement in the 1960s. That movement began to draw a line against the country’s entire mode of economic organization and the system of logic and set of assumptions that led to the problems of dams, pesticides, nukes, and population growth, for example, associated with environmental degradation. New laws including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Wilderness Act resulted.

The economic model of the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries is mercantilism. Motivated and directed by the English Crown and Parliament, colonists in the New World were encouraged to export raw materials to England, preferably gold, silver, tobacco, rice, indigo, and timber (Petulla, 1977). They turned the largest profit for the homeland. Wealth for all who provided them was assured.

Conquest of native land and culture was the way of the colonists, a way differing at the root from historic Native American cultural values. The native way frames the earth as family members: father Sky, mother Earth, grandfather Moon, brother River, the Four Winds are uncles, the Stars are cousins, and so forth. Chief Seattle, who led the Suquamish tribe of the Puget Sound area, described native spirituality to government officials in 1854 this way: ‘‘Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons and daughters of the Earth. We did not weave the web of life; we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves’’ (Suquamish Tribe, 2010). In this respect, he foreshadowed health concerns resulting from the industrial waste contamination that was to come.

The settlers’ way disconnected humans from all other life largely based on Genesis 1:28 of the Old Testament, which provides, ‘‘Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over . . . every living thing that creepeth upon the earth.’’

With a moral imperative and need for economic growth, colonials consequently sought to clear forests, mine mountains, and plant indigofera, a member of the pea family valued for the deep blue dye that could be extracted from the vegetation. Since the color drawn out is not soluble in water, one technique for breaking down the resistance required soaking the extraction in urine. Offensive in nature, a harsh chemical treatment for turning it into dye provided an alternative. It led to health problems at textile manufacturing facilities and occasionally attracted attention from government policymakers. The waste chemicals landed in streams and soil and were allowed to evaporate into the air because the science of dilution suggested doing so would render them harmless.

The first zoning policies in the United States can be traced to these concerns for public health. Sanitation and pure drinking water were its cornerstones. In 1739, Benjamin Franklin laid the groundwork for land use law when he and some of his neighbors petitioned the Pennsylvania assembly to stop chemical waste dumping and remove tanneries from Philadelphia’s commercial district because of their foul smell, disease-promoting qualities, and interferences with firefighting, all of which lowered property values. Industry complained to the assembly that any restriction would violate their rights. Franklin argued for ‘‘public rights’’ (Kovarik, 2010). The issue of public versus private rights has been a continuing thread through environmental policy in the United States ever since.

Franklin and his pack won a symbolic victory that created awareness. However, assorted industries, including the weapons, steel, and chemical industries, continued dumping with minimal restriction for almost 200 more years. Throughout the prairie and the Rust Belt, rivers and streams ran red from cadmium and chromium. Franklin’s dedication to his beloved Philadelphia and confidence that the New World promised many great contributions to the world led him to include a 1789 codicil in his will. In in, he left money earmarked to build a freshwater pipeline to the city to stave off yellow fever and other epidemics linked to water quality (Kovarik 2010).

Extraction of natural resources remained a God-given sanction in the 1800s as logging, mining, and farming flourished. Like the early settlers, citizens of the new United States of America hungered for the land, viewing forest wilderness as the most formidable barrier standing between them and their financial success from farming. The only good tree was a dead one in a fence, cabin wall, or fireplace (Nash, 1963, 2). This utilitarian-based economic system of conquest over wilderness gave meaning and purpose to the pioneer existence.

The pioneers and Native Americans differed not only in spiritual beliefs, but also in their ideas about community and society. Early settlers brought from Europe an economic system based on individual rather than collective property ownership, opposite to native practices. To the native nations, it was not possible to own something belonging to the Great Spirit. When U.S. President Zachary Taylor offered to buy the Suquamish’s land, Chief Seattle likened the settlers to parasites in his 1854 reply that today is regarded by some as the most beautiful and profound statement on environmental policy ever made. Explaining his position, Chief Seattle said:

"How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? This idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? . . . We know that the white man does not understand our ways. One portion of land is the same to him as the next, for he is a stranger who comes in the night and takes from the land whatever he needs. The Earth is not his brother, but his enemy, and when he has conquered it, he moves on. He leaves his father’s graves behind, and he does not care. He kidnaps the Earth from his children, . . . And he does not care. . . . He treats . . . the Earth . . . as [something] to be bought, plundered, sold like sheep or bright beads. His appetite will devour the Earth and leave behind only a desert. . . . Our ways are different from your ways. The sight of your cities pains the eyes for the red man. But perhaps it is because the red man is a savage and does not understand. There is no quiet place in the white man’s cities. No place to hear the unfurling of leaves of spring, or the rustle of an insect’s wings. But perhaps it is because I am a savage and do not understand. The clatter only seems to insult my ears . . ." (Suquamish Tribe, 2010)

It would be many years before Central Park in New York City was created to provide a quiet place in that roaring metropolis. Considering Chief Seattle’s statement, it can be said that the Romantics, Transcendentalists, and naturalists who advocated for wilderness protection as early as 1773 walked in the footsteps of the native nations and, having done so, sought to reconcile mercantilist ways with the way of beauty. Among them was a New England clergyman who in 1803 crossed the Allegheny Mountains, floated down the Ohio River, and then reported that while the farming scenes he saw were nice, the uncultivated wilderness made him feel closer to god (Nash, 1963, 4).

But the Industrial Revolution and mercantilism overshadowed that consciousness. Pollution intensified. Poet, philosopher, and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson and Chief Seattle spoke about the same things. The conservation stories shaping environmental policy during this time inspired admiration.

Environmental policy in the United States after independence began to include a moral imperative along with its commodity-driven capitalist economic system. An increasingly better-educated public had placed new emphasis on the quality of life. The country’s leaders and citizens wanted to break with old ways instituted by the Crown and make a place for the country among great nations. An awareness that the American wilderness was an attraction not only for those searching for a better life, but also for tourists, became an economic concern when public leaders noticed the woods were disappearing into ‘‘progress.’’ The rough country that had been a source of national pride and identity had stood in stark contrast to the Old World’s cramped and artificial conditions. During the Romantic movement, the country’s attitude shifted to include aesthetic value. The United States was outgrowing the idea that wild, natural mountains and forests were horrible and something to be conquered and tamed.

The change brought with it an enthusiasm for the primitive. Early sociologist and political scientist Alexis de Tocqueville returned from a trip through the Michigan wilderness in 1831 declaring the journey left him with a vague distaste for civilized life, that the backwoods stimulated a sort of primitive instinct in him that ‘‘makes one think with sadness that soon this delightful solitude will have changed its looks’’ (Nash, 1963, 6). His words epitomize the Romantic attitude. Sadly, de Tocqueville’s observation was a premonition of things to come.

Like the Romantics, for the Transcendentalists nature was the symbol of the spiritual world. It contained the moral truths permeating the universe, they contended. ‘‘In the woods we return to reason and faith,’’ Emerson wrote, epitomizing the movement’s non-utilitarian attitude toward wilderness (Nash, 1963, 4). His statement seems to suggest when morality began injecting itself into U.S. environmental policy.

Hatian-born French-American ornithologist John James Audubon was among the scientists who in the early 1800s along with Nuttall regarded the wilderness as a discovery zone (Nash, 1963, 4). Perhaps inspired by a young Thomas Jefferson’s Notes on the State of Virginia written in 1785, which defended the New World’s animals and plants against European superstition labeling them as degenerate, Audubon published Birds of America in 1826. That ongoing collection of color engravings that depicted, cataloged, and described the birds. It also influenced environmental law and policy in a new ethical direction. When journalist George Bird Grinnell in 1886 wrote an article in Forest and Stream magazine encouraging readers to help him create ‘‘The Audubon Society,’’ it was with the goal of protecting birds against the demands of fashion (Serrin and Serrin, 2002, 227–229). Enormous numbers of birds were captured for their plumes in the late 1800s.

Appealing to industrial as well as less technologically invested special interests, Grinnell explained how the slaughter of birds injured farmers, who needed them to eat the insects and rodents that destroyed crops. He encouraged American women to follow the lead of their counterparts in England, who created widespread interest in protecting birds. In the three months following Grinnell’s publication, more than 38,000 people, including many notables, wrote to him in support of his suggestion. Overwhelmed, he abandoned the group in 1898. Within 10 years, women in Massachusetts formed a state Audubon Society, and in 1905, a national organization was established. The society’s first accomplishment was to pass a plumage law in New York State in 1910 that banned the sale of all plumes of birds native to the state. Its next achievement was a successful lobbying effort for what became the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. The law made it illegal to pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, or sell migrating birds, whether dead or alive, including any part of the bird. Grinnell diligently continued his work favoring wilderness and wildlife preservation. In 1910, it led to legislation forming Glacier National Park.

Meanwhile, George Catlin in 1832 made the first known plea for forest and wilderness preservation (Nash, 1963, 7). His firsthand observations from living with and documenting Native American life in art and words illustrated the extermination of the native nations and the buffalo. This was a great loss of heritage, he argued, and proposed the government preserve millions of acres of land ‘‘in their pristine beauty and wildness’’ that the world could see for ages to come. His plea signified a new relationship developing between the populace, lawmakers, and environmental policy in the United States that served as the root of the national park idea.

George Perkins Marsh, a member of the Whig Party, was among the first in Congress to address environmental problems resulting from human interaction with the natural environment. Industrial progress had disrupted the harmony between humans and their environment, he believed, and he argued that clearing woods indiscriminately was a prelude to floods, soil erosion, and ultimately the collapse of civilization. The Roman Empire was a prime example, and he wanted to spare the United States from a similar fate of denuding the forests and leaving the land barren (Nash, 1963, 7). Over time, studies have linked the rise and fall of civilizations to their environmental health. Rome had overtaxed its natural resources and thus its strength, Marsh contended. Exploiting nature turns an economic asset into an economic liability, he said. Today’s pollution and its cleanup price tag supports Marsh’s thinking. Historically, exploiting the environment by drilling, mining, logging, and polluting forced economic and political systems to change. With that awareness, Marsh inserted wilderness preservation into the congressional economic arguments of 1847 (Nash, 1963).

Two years later, the New York Tribune took up the torch to preserve the verdant Adirondack region of the Appalachian Mountains in New York State. Distinguished by deep, lush, dark green forests under purple sunrises streaking amber, the region was largely untouched. Long-time Tribune reporter Joel T. Headly wrote The Adirondack: or Life in the Woods that year, providing that anyone spending time there would come back ‘‘to civilized life’’ a better person (Serrin and Serrin, 2002, 225–227).

A major impetus for preserving the region was the deforestation that had already occurred. The stripping of trees became so bad that it was a major contributor to flooding, as well as drought, along the Hudson River and the Erie Canal. New Yorkers vocal about protecting the region wanted to make sure water supplies were not damaged even further.

The Adirondacks were a major force in Teddy Roosevelt’s environmental ethic. He spent much time there, and was actually climbing the region’s highest peak (Mount Marcy) when he received news that McKinley had been shot.

Lawmakers resisted responding to the public outcry for 40 years, even though Marsh helped carry the Adirondack’s torch in Congress. A breach in the disagreements came in 1873 when the sportsman’s magazine Forest and Stream said preserving the Adirondacks would protect the state watersheds that rose there. This argument won over some of the opposition. The New York State Chamber of Commerce and other powerful interests joined the preservation chorus, claiming that not preserving the Adirondacks would undermine internal commerce in the state. On May 15, 1885, New York Governor David B. Hill made 715,000 acres in the Adirondacks forever wild. It is an early example of a state leading federal environmental policy. In 1892, the state legislature added another three million acres in the area and designated it Adirondack State Park. In 1894, as the Audubon Society was laying roots, New York State voters gave permanent protection to the park and said it must stay forever wild (Serrin and Serrin, 2002, 226–227).

At the same time, John Muir arrived in California at the age of 30 in 1868, where he began describing wilderness and expounding on its values. A part-time logger, he became a leading force shaping American thought on the subject of wilderness. He defended it as a source of religion, recreation, and beauty, and pleaded with the American people to turn to the wild places in their country for rejuvenation and solace. Muir wrote, ‘‘Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, overcivilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life’’ (Nash, 1963, 8).

Muir fell out of public life in the 1880s after marrying and devoting his attention to his wife’s family ranch. When Robert Underwood Johnson of Century magazine came to California scouting new talent, he sought out Muir. Together they went on a pack trip to Yosemite, where Muir spoke with sadness about the grazing, lumbering, farms, and factories defaming the valley. Johnson said, write for me, and we’ll make this a national park (Serrin and Serrin, 2002, 229). Muir did, and the rest is history.

The story of Yosemite National Park is a study in clout, politics, and greasing the wheels of Congress. While Muir wrote, Johnson, a master lobbyist, created a park coalition that appealed to the logic of the Southern Pacific Railroad and the potent Hearst family (Serrin and Serrin 2002, 232). Century carried Muir’s articles in August and September of 1890. A bill establishing Yosemite National Park, following boundaries Muir suggested in Century, passed in September 1890 shortly after the second article and was signed by President Benjamin Harrison the next day.

Muir was surprised by how his arguments won favor. Encouraged by his wife to continue writing about parks and wildlife, in an 1897 article in Atlantic he urged federal protection of the forests. Only Uncle Sam, Muir wrote, can save the trees from fools (Serrin and Serrin 2002, 232). Though Yosemite had been declared protected wilderness, pressure continued to use part of the park for industry. Alert to the undercurrent, Muir, Johnson, and a San Francisco-based lawyer, Warren Olney, formed a sort of ‘‘Yosemite defense league.’’ That group became the Sierra Club.

Preserving wilderness for its own sake and using it exclusively for recreation and educational purposes was Muir’s stance in all cases. However, a countervailing conservationist philosophy sunk roots deep into the economic considerations of the day when in 1898, Gifford Pinchot, a Yale University graduate trained in forestry in France, became the country’s first professional forester. Pinchot, who could be considered the father of the wise-use movement that began in the late 1980s, believed forests could be managed sustainably for economic development purposes. His approach became the dominant force in natural resource policy throughout the 1900s in part due to his close association with the nation’s twenty-sixth president, Theodore Roosevelt.

In 1892, Pinchot was managing the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina. When William Seward Webb visited and observed some of Pinchot’s ideas there, he invited him to try some of his forest-management methods at Nehasane Park, Webb’s Adirondack estate. Pinchot tried a light, selective cut there with attention to the recreational purposes behind the estate’s creation. Webb liked the result, and other large landowners in the area began to hire Pinchot to manage their wilderness. In this way, the rationale for professional forestry of the day—that manipulated land was superior to nature’s random processes and thus more valuable—was adopted on some private lands within the Adirondack region (Thompson, 1963, 17).

The seeds of the New York State laws that kept the Adirondacks forever wild were in fundamental opposition to the professional premise of forestry: that there was value in unmanipulated nature, a value transcending any that might be produced by human intervention (Thompson, 1963, 18). Most notable of Pinchot’s heritage is the controversy over Hetch Hetchy Valley, located in Yosemite National Park.

This event is regarded as a sort of Alamo by wilderness lovers. In contrast, the laws creating Adirondack State Park and later Catskill Forest Preserves in New York State are shining examples of what preservationists consider enlightened environmental policy. The story is long, heartbreaking, and complex, and destroyed a friendship based on admiration. It epitomizes the bandwidth of environmental policy in the early 1900s.

Wildfires burn record 2 million acres in California; 14,000 firefighters pressed into service in San Francisco Bay area

After a typically dry summer, California is parched heading into fall and what normally is the most dangerous time for wildfires. Two of the three largest fires in state history are burning in the San Francisco Bay Area. More than 14,000 firefighters are battling those fires and dozens of others more around California.

A three-day heat wave brought triple-digit temperatures to much of the state during Labor Day weekend. But right behind it was a weather system with dry winds that could fan fires. The state's largest utility, Pacific Gas & Electric, was preparing to cut power to 158,000 customers in 21 counties in the northern half of the state to reduce the possibility its lines and other equipment could spark new fires.

Randy Moore, regional forester for the Forest Service’s Pacific Southwest Region that covers California, announced the national forest closures and said the decision would be re-evaluated daily. Campgrounds at all national forests in the state also were closed.

“The wildfire situation throughout California is dangerous and must be taken seriously." Moore said. “Existing fires are displaying extreme fire behavior, new fire starts are likely, weather conditions are worsening, and we simply do not have enough resources to fully fight and contain every fire."

Lynne Tolmachoff, spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire, said it's “unnerving" to have reached a record for acreage burned when September and October usually are the worst for fires because vegetation has dried out and high winds are more common. The previous high was 1.96 million acres burned in 2018. Cal Fire began tracking the numbers in 1987.

While the two mammoth Bay Area fires were largely contained after burning for three weeks, firefighters struggled to corral several other major blazes ahead of the expected winds. Evacuation orders were expanded to more mountain communities Monday as the largest blaze, the Creek Fire, churned through the Sierra National Forest in Central California.

It was one of many recent major fires that has displayed terrifyingly swift movement. The fire moved 15 miles (24 kilometers) in a single day and burned 56 square miles (145.04 square kilometers).

Debra Rios wasn't home when the order came to evacuate her hometown of Auberry, just northeast of Fresno. Sheriff's deputies went to her ranch property to pick up her 92-year-old mother, Shirley MacLean. They reunited at an evacuation center.

“I hope like heck the fire doesn't reach my little ranch,” Rios said. “It’s not looking good right now. It’s an awfully big fire.”

Mountain roads saw a steady stream of cars and trucks leaving the community of about 2,300 on Monday afternoon.

Firefighters working in steep terrain saved the tiny town of Shaver Lake from flames that roared down hillsides toward a marina. About 30 houses were destroyed in the remote hamlet of Big Creek, resident Toby Wait said.

“About half the private homes in town burned down,” he said. “Words cannot even begin to describe the devastation of this community.”

A school, church, library, historic general store and a major hydroelectric plant were spared in the community of about 200 residents, Wait told the Fresno Bee.

Sheriff's deputies went door to door to make sure residents were complying with orders to leave. Officials hoped to keep the fire from pushing west toward Yosemite National Park.

The Creek Fire had charred more than 114 square miles (295 square kilometers) of timber after breaking out Friday. The nearly 1,000 firefighters on the scene had yet to get any containment. The cause had not been determined.

On Saturday, National Guard rescuers in two military helicopters airlifted 214 people to safety after flames trapped them in a wooded camping area near Mammoth Pool Reservoir. Two people were seriously injured and were among 12 hospitalised.

On Monday night, a military helicopter landed near Lake Edison to rescue people trapped by the Creek Fire, the Fresno Fire Department said on Twitter.

Chief Warrant Officer Joseph Rosamond, the pilot of a Chinook helicopter, said visibility was poor and winds increasingly strong during the three flights he made into the fire zone. His crew relied on night-vision goggles to search for a landing spot near a boat launch where flames came within 50 feet (15.24 meters) of the aircraft.

The injured, along with women and children, took priority on the first airlift, which filled both helicopters to capacity, he said.

“We started getting information about how many people were out there, how many people to expect, and that number kept growing. So we knew that it was a dire situation,” Rosamond said.

Rosamond called the conditions “extreme” and said it was one of the most difficult flying missions in his 25 years as a military pilot.

Record-breaking temperatures were driving the highest power use of the year, and transmission losses because of wildfires have cut into supplies. Throughout the holiday weekend, the California Independent System Operator that manages the state’s power grid warned of outages if residents didn’t reduce their electricity usage. But none had occurred by late Monday afternoon.

Pacific Gas & Electric warned it might cut power starting late Monday because of the increased fire danger. Some of the state’s largest and deadliest fires in recent years have been sparked by downed power lines and other utility equipment.

PG&E received criticism for its handling of planned outages last year. The utility said it has learned from past problems, “and this year will be making events smaller in size, shorter in length and smarter for customers.”

In Southern California, crews scrambled to douse several fires that roared to life in searing temperatures, including one that closed mountain roads in Angeles National Forest and forced the evacuation of the historic Mount Wilson Observatory.

Cal Fire said a blaze in San Bernardino County called the El Dorado Fire started Saturday morning and was caused by a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device used by a couple to reveal their baby's gender. In eastern San Diego County, a fire destroyed at least 10 structures after burning 16 square miles (41.44 square kilometers) and prompting evacuations near the remote community of Alpine in the Cleveland National Forest.

California has seen 900 wildfires since 15 August, many of them started by an intense series of thousands of lightning strikes in mid-August. There have been eight fire deaths and more than 3,300 structures destroyed.

Sustainability

The idea of a community garden itself is sustainable and we knew from the early stages that we would be able to create a sustainable structure and it be one of Blooming Northshore’s great strengths. Our choice to re-use the timber for seating and part of the hanging garden frame was a necessity for the project in order to appeal to the normative framework of sustainability. Our team was grateful we had the opportunity to recycle materials as it also aligned with our personal ethical principles, and those of the client. Using our like-mindedness to our advantage allowed us to prioritise Debra Webb’s theory of sustainability; through acknowledging our legacy of place-taking and seeking to establish places of connection, social equity and economic opportunity for everyone (Webb, 2013).

$350,000 Homes in Idaho, Tennessee and Minnesota

Boise, Idaho | $349,900

A midcentury modern house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms

Of the estimated 11,000 midcentury modern houses in Boise, the heaviest concentration is in the area south of the Boise River, known as the Bench because of its plateau-like change in elevation. This house, which dates to 1962, is in the Franklin Heights subdivision of the Borah neighborhood in the Boise Bench, less than five miles southwest of downtown.

Size: 1,973 square feet

Price per square foot: $177

Indoors: As their family grew bigger, the original owners transformed what had been a three-bedroom house by extending one of the bedrooms into what is believed to have been a carport, creating a four-bedroom house with a second living room. It is thought that both bathrooms were updated in the late 1990s. The second, and current, owner, who bought the property in 2011, added a concrete patio in back with a pergola.

At the house’s center is a vaulted great room with a beamed timber ceiling and a brass gas fireplace set into a wall of white-painted brick. A low, granite-topped partition divides the living area from the dining room and vintage kitchen. The kitchen has white cabinets, rounded laminate countertops, walls covered in textured paper and a harvest-gold refrigerator.

A short hallway leads to the bedrooms, including a master, which has hardwood floors and glass doors opening to a backyard patio. The master bathroom has a tile shower. The living room addition is connected to the third and fourth bedrooms and has an electrical faux fireplace mounted on the wall in the corner.

Outdoor space: The 0.2-acre lot includes specimen trees, elegantly trimmed hedges and a fenced backyard.

Taxes: $1,333 (2018)

Contact: T.J. Pierce, Mid-Century Homes by Moniker Real Estate, 208-996-5759; intermountainmls.com

Goodlettsville, Tenn. | $339,000

An 1860 farmhouse with two bedrooms and two bathrooms

This house, in a suburb about 20 minutes north of Nashville, was used as temporary quarters for workers on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and renovated in 2017 by Troy Dean Shafer, host of a television series called “Nashville Flipped,” who died unexpectedly in April. The house was featured on the second season of the show.

Size: 1,400 square feet

Price per square foot: $242

Indoors: The front door is set within the covered portion of a wraparound porch. It opens to an entry parlor that was trimmed in the renovation to make space for a full bathroom. The parlor has an unusual three-sided fireplace that opens to the living room and one of the bedrooms. The new bathroom has beadboard wainscoting topped by toile wallpaper and a claw-foot tub that is original to the property.

In the living room, Mr. Shafer broke through the attic floor to raise the ceiling height to more than 16 feet and framed a period stained-glass window with wood he salvaged in the renovation. In the adjacent bedroom, he hung a floral-painted globe pendant lamp found in the basement. Throughout the house are original floorboards that have been sanded, repainted and coated in polyurethane.

The master bedroom has high ceilings and a renovated en suite marble bathroom with rewired light fixtures from the 1920s and ’30s. The kitchen has blue (on the bottom) and white (on top) cabinets and new French doors bringing in light and mountain views.

Outdoor space: The original wraparound deck was extended and widened. Mr. Shafer built a corner gazebo with a hanging swing made of salvaged wood and added a dinner bell to alert residents and guests who might have spread out around the 3.4-acre property. The house sits next to the rail tracks, which provide “some sound effects,” according to the seller’s representative.

Taxes: $413 (2018), based on an assessment of $14,975

Contact: Angela Peach, Compass, 615-403-4076; homesforsale.benchmarkrealtytn.com

Morris, Minn. | $350,000

A 1901 house with five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms

This house is centrally situated in an agricultural city of 5,400 people, two and a half hours northwest of Minneapolis. Restaurants, municipal buildings and houses of worship are all blocks away, as is the University of Minnesota Morris campus.

Size: 4,266 square feet

Price per square foot: $82

Indoors: The home’s original stained glass and other period details survived its previous life as a rental for college students. The kitchen has had a recent gut renovation.

A heated, glass-walled front porch extends across the home’s width and leads, through a pair of solid wood doors, into the foyer. A small windowed reception area is up a couple of stairs to the right, at the base of the elegant staircase.

To the left, through pocket doors, is a pair of parlors ornamented with stained glass and separated by columns surrounded by decorative woodwork. The rear parlor has a bay window on the side and a fireplace flanked by glass-fronted Craftsman-style bookcases. (The wood-burning fireplace is currently inoperable.) An adjacent dining room has a paneled wood wainscot and a glass-fronted built-in china cabinet with wide drawers underneath.

The new eat-in kitchen has a cream-tile backsplash and floors, and extensive cabinetry and counter space. Nearby is a bathroom with a paneled wainscot and an old-fashioned soaking tub.

Three bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the second floor, as is a two-room office suite with large front-facing windows. The third floor contains a master suite that has a carpeted bedroom with a pair of dormer windows and a bathroom with wood floors. The basement has a large laundry room and half bathroom.

Outdoor space: The 0.49-acre property includes a detached two-car garage.

Taxes: $2,349

Why Opt For Custom Shipping Containers Los Angeles

By Debra Stewart

Owning a home is a dream for many people and there are many ways of making this dream come true. The use of custom shipping containers Los Angeles has been adopted in many states with some people preferring the method instead of constructing a new home from scratch. The following are some points to explain the logic behind this approach. The tools can be used in so many ways and this makes them an option to a lot of people. One can make a nice home from them while another one might need them for a small kiosk by the roadside. It is this characteristic that makes it easy to do a resell for people that had purchased them for temporary projects. They can also be stored to be used in the future. The approach is cheaper and cost-effective. The fact that the items can be recycled for other purposes means that the owner does not have to buy a new container when he already has one that had been used for other purposes before. The contractor involved will also not charge much as his work will be more of innovation unlike in a fresh construction project. These products are portable too. They are created in a manner in which they can withstand transportation hence one should not fear that damages will take place. If you are not sure how long you will dwell in a particular area, constructing a shop using these tools is recommended as you can bring it with you to the new place. There are companies that are involved in such transportation services. You get to save a lot of time when this approach is taken too. The contractor hired will only be required to do some renovations to the item in favor of the needs of the client. If a client wants to settle down within a short period of time, all he needs to do is make the purchase and hire someone to do the renovation. His plans will not be ruined. If you are building a family house, you want everyone to be safe. A businessman also wants to be sure that his stock will not be stolen when he is not around. These tools will provide the kind of security you are looking for. They cannot be easily broken into, unlike timber houses. You can hence relax as you go about your activities knowing that you will find all things intact. Environmental conservation is the responsibility of every citizen. When metallic items are dumped into the environment, the aesthetic value of the place is lost and this can be prevented through putting the waste into other uses. The act of recycling also helps in sustaining raw materials for the sake of the future generation. This can, therefore, be a good reason to choose this approach. The items are locally available in most states due to the increased number of dealers in the market. One does not have to worry about the shopping process and delays associated with it. The dealers and renovation contractors can be locally found too. It will hence be easy to present any complaints that may arise after the purchase. The ability to choose the best offers from the best dealers encourages people too.

The Logic Behind Custom Shipping Containers Los Angeles

By Debra Stewart

Investors must always be careful with the decisions they make in order for them to get value for their money. The construction industry has experienced new inventions and one of them is the use of custom shipping containers Los Angeles. If you are still not sure about using this approach, you can go through the following reasoning behind the approach. The products can be put into different purposes and this renders them useful to a large group of people. Some may want them for the construction of a house, others want shops or even business offices. Hence, one does not have to hesitate just because he needs the products for a short period of time. He can always resell them to someone with a different project or store them to be used in the future. The approach is way cheaper than starting a construction project afresh. All a person requires is to have a few changes done and this will not cost him a lot of money. The owner who had stored it for future use will also find it to be very cost effective as he will not have to make a new purchase. Hence, people with a tight budget can opt for this. The fact that this item is portable makes it very convenient for someone who is not certain about his future location. Even when it is being mounted and renovated, he knows he can move it to his next dwellings. This is way easier than having to sell a house and then look for another one in the new area of residence. Time will be saved if an individual uses this method of construction. Unlike in a fresh building that may consume a lot of time due to the amount of work involved, this one will require the contractor to make a few changes. Your project will be ready within a short period of time. It is a convenient option for those who want to speed up their projects. If you are building a family house, you want everyone to be safe. A businessman also wants to be sure that his stock will not be stolen when he is not around. These tools will provide the kind of security you are looking for. They cannot be easily broken into, unlike timber houses. You can hence relax as you go about your activities knowing that you will find all things intact. Environmental conservation is the responsibility of every citizen. When metallic items are dumped into the environment, the aesthetic value of the place is lost and this can be prevented through putting the waste into other uses. The act of recycling also helps in sustaining raw materials for the sake of the future generation. This can, therefore, be a good reason to choose this approach. The fact that the items are readily available makes people opt for them. Sometimes one may be discouraged from making a purchase due to the long and expensive shipping process. With these items, however, the dealers operate locally and can make free deliveries. There are many experts who will do the renovation for you too. Time will not be wasted trying to locate the dealers and contractors.

Shaver Lake: Wildfires have burned a record 2 million acres in California this year, and the danger for more destruction is so high the US Forest Service announced Monday it was closing all eight national forests in the southern half of the state. After a typically dry summer, California is parched heading into fall and what normally is the most dangerous time for wildfires. Two of the three largest fires in state history are burning in the San Francisco Bay Area. More than 14,000 firefighters are battling those fires and dozens of others more around California. A three-day heat wave brought triple-digit temperatures to much of the state during Labor Day weekend. But right behind it was a weather system with dry winds that could fan fires. The state's largest utility, Pacific Gas & Electric, was preparing to cut power to 158,000 customers in 21 counties in the northern half of the state to reduce the possibility its lines and other equipment could spark new fires. Randy Moore, regional forester for the Forest Service’s Pacific Southwest Region that covers California, announced the national forest closures and said the decision would be re-evaluated daily. Campgrounds at all national forests in the state also were closed. “The wildfire situation throughout California is dangerous and must be taken seriously." Moore said. “Existing fires are displaying extreme fire behavior, new fire starts are likely, weather conditions are worsening, and we simply do not have enough resources to fully fight and contain every fire." Lynne Tolmachoff, spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire, said it's “unnerving" to have reached a record for acreage burned when September and October usually are the worst for fires because vegetation has dried out and high winds are more common. The previous high was 1.96 million acres burned in 2018. Cal Fire began tracking the numbers in 1987. While the two mammoth Bay Area fires were largely contained after burning for three weeks, firefighters struggled to corral several other major blazes ahead of the expected winds. Evacuation orders were expanded to more mountain communities Monday as the largest blaze, the Creek Fire, churned through the Sierra National Forest in Central California. It was one of many recent major fires that has displayed terrifyingly swift movement. The fire moved 15 miles (24 kilometers) in a single day and burned 56 square miles (145.04 square kilometers). Debra Rios wasn't home when the order came to evacuate her hometown of Auberry, just northeast of Fresno. Sheriff's deputies went to her ranch property to pick up her 92-year-old mother, Shirley MacLean. They reunited at an evacuation center. “I hope like heck the fire doesn't reach my little ranch,” Rios said. “It’s not looking good right now. It’s an awfully big fire.” Mountain roads saw a steady stream of cars and trucks leaving the community of about 2,300 on Monday afternoon. Firefighters working in steep terrain saved the tiny town of Shaver Lake from flames that roared down hillsides toward a marina. About 30 houses were destroyed in the remote hamlet of Big Creek, resident Toby Wait said. “About half the private homes in town burned down,” he said. “Words cannot even begin to describe the devastation of this community.” A school, church, library, historic general store and a major hydroelectric plant were spared in the community of about 200 residents, Wait told the Fresno Bee. Sheriff's deputies went door to door to make sure residents were complying with orders to leave. Officials hoped to keep the fire from pushing west toward Yosemite National Park. The Creek Fire had charred more than 114 square miles (295 square kilometers) of timber after breaking out Friday. The nearly 1,000 firefighters on the scene had yet to get any containment. The cause had not been determined. On Saturday, National Guard rescuers in two military helicopters airlifted 214 people to safety after flames trapped them in a wooded camping area near Mammoth Pool Reservoir. Two people were seriously injured and were among 12 hospitalised. On Monday night, a military helicopter landed near Lake Edison to rescue people trapped by the Creek Fire, the Fresno Fire Department said on Twitter. Chief Warrant Officer Joseph Rosamond, the pilot of a Chinook helicopter, said visibility was poor and winds increasingly strong during the three flights he made into the fire zone. His crew relied on night-vision goggles to search for a landing spot near a boat launch where flames came within 50 feet (15.24 meters) of the aircraft. The injured, along with women and children, took priority on the first airlift, which filled both helicopters to capacity, he said. “We started getting information about how many people were out there, how many people to expect, and that number kept growing. So we knew that it was a dire situation,” Rosamond said. Rosamond called the conditions “extreme” and said it was one of the most difficult flying missions in his 25 years as a military pilot. Record-breaking temperatures were driving the highest power use of the year, and transmission losses because of wildfires have cut into supplies. Throughout the holiday weekend, the California Independent System Operator that manages the state’s power grid warned of outages if residents didn’t reduce their electricity usage. But none had occurred by late Monday afternoon. Pacific Gas & Electric warned it might cut power starting late Monday because of the increased fire danger. Some of the state’s largest and deadliest fires in recent years have been sparked by downed power lines and other utility equipment. PG&E received criticism for its handling of planned outages last year. The utility said it has learned from past problems, “and this year will be making events smaller in size, shorter in length and smarter for customers.” In Southern California, crews scrambled to douse several fires that roared to life in searing temperatures, including one that closed mountain roads in Angeles National Forest and forced the evacuation of the historic Mount Wilson Observatory. Cal Fire said a blaze in San Bernardino County called the El Dorado Fire started Saturday morning and was caused by a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device used by a couple to reveal their baby's gender. In eastern San Diego County, a fire destroyed at least 10 structures after burning 16 square miles (41.44 square kilometers) and prompting evacuations near the remote community of Alpine in the Cleveland National Forest. California has seen 900 wildfires since 15 August, many of them started by an intense series of thousands of lightning strikes in mid-August. There have been eight fire deaths and more than 3,300 structures destroyed.
