Carl E. Hayden, staff writer for the Salt Lake Tribune published a series of short
articles on the National Forests of the Intermountain Region in 1957. The articles, which
ran between February and June of that year, were written from materials furnished by the
respective National Forests to Mr. Hayden.
In all, nineteen National Forests are covered in the Hayden materials. Seven
Articles are listed from Utah, Seven from Idaho, while Nevada lists three and Wyoming,
two. The materials contain an original typescript copy of each Salt Lake Tribune article
plus selected correspondence and maps. A folder of general information is also included
in this collection.
In housing these materials at the Special Collections Department of USU their
original deposited order has been altered, in order to better facilitate their use. They are
filed in folders by State and national forest designation; each folder then contains in order:
correspondence, article, and maps, plus any miscellaneous materials on each forest.
The Carl E. Hayden materials have been in possession of the USU Special
Collections department since its inception in February 1965.
