Hartzog Jr.” in blue ink. 7×10. One page. Dated: August 14, 1972. In full: “Mr. J.L. Pruett/505 Magnolia Lane/Clute, Texas 77531/.

With kindest regards and all good wishes, I am Sincerely yours, George B. Hartzog, Jr. Director.” George B. Hartzog, Jr (1920-2008) was an American attorney and Director of the National Park Service. He was admitted to the bar in South Carolina in 1942 and became an attorney for the General Land Office (now the Bureau of Land Management) in the Department of the Interior in 1945, and six months later transferred to the National Park Service. George moved to field assignments at Great Smoky Mountains and Rocky Mountain National Parks, and then got fame advancing the Gateway Arch project as superintendent of Jefferson National Expansion Memorial from 1959 to 1962. After briefly leaving the service he returned as associate director in 1963 with the promise of succeeding Conrad Wirth in January 1964. As director, he served as Stewart Udall’s main assistant in achieving a remarkably productive legislative program that included sixty two new parks, the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, and the Bible amendment to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act that led to establishment of the Alaska parks. During his nine-year tenure, he enlarged the service’s role in urban recreation, historic preservation, interpretation and environmental education. George was dismissed in December 1972 after pioneering the Washington Monument Syndrome political tactic, and practiced law in Washington, D.C. until his death. Slightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition. See more material from these signers: GEORGE B. HARTZOG JR. See more listings in our LAW & ORDER (343) category. Please note that this is an authentically signed item.
