Friends of the Wilderness. Friends of the Wilderness records, 1917-1981.

Title: Friends of the Wilderness records, 1917-1981.

Correspondence, printed materials, clippings, and miscellaneous items (mainly 1949-1975) related almost entirely to the activities of its executive secretary, William H. Magie. During 1949-1954 the organization concentrated on opposing the use of aircraft and on supporting federal land acquisition in the roadless areas of the Superior National Forest Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA). Later it opposed logging, mining, and other commercial activities in the area, and supported efforts in Congress to pass a wilderness act (1957-1964), designate the BWCA as a wilderness area, and create Voyageurs National Park (1964-1971).

Clement, Paul, 1892-1984. Paul Clement papers, 1886, 1908-1982.

Title: Paul Clement papers, 1886, 1908-1982.

Correspondence and printed and nearprint items related mainly to the conservation activities of Clement, a Minneapolis insurance executive. They pertain largely to the Izaak Walton League of America (IWLA) and the IWLA Endowment when Clement was most active in its Minnesota division (1939-1940), when he was national president (1944-1946), and when a controversy developed over use of IWLA Endowment funds (1964-1965). Minnesota issues are prominent, especially logging, mining, and road building in the Quetico-Superior area. There is also material on other conservation organizations, including Friends of the Wilderness, the Nature Conservancy, the Quetico-Superior Foundation, and the President's Quetico-Superior Committee.
