Title

History of Grazing in Logan Canyon by Lysle R. English

Description

A history of grazing in Logan Canyon by Lysle R. English. Report No. 1 submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in History, Plan B, Utah State University, Logan, Utah, 1971.
With the rapid increase in population, renewed emphasis has been placed on conservation of our existing natural resources. The Forest Service has been charged with the responsibility of managing multiple use resources in the National Forests. Among the oldest, and in the early years of western development, most abused resources, are those of forage and watershed. This report has been written in an effort to provide a better understanding of the problem associated with control and management of the grazing assets of the Logan River drainage. In order to better appreciate a history of grazing in Logan Canyon, it is necessary to review some of the major events which preceded the actual grazing in the canyon. Although grazing records prior to the establishment of Cache National Forest are scarce, since 1906 the Forest Service has kept detailed grazing records. The wealth of material in the Logan District Ranger Office was made available through the courtesy of Merrill Roberts, Logan District Ranger. These records include allotment records and individual files on each permittee with current grazing rights. After a permit is terminated the records are maintained in the local office for ten years, then retired to the Denver office. For this report no effort was made to secure permittee records outside the local area.
