Excerpt from Pennsylvania Park News, 1943The first areas purchased by the Commonwealth as State Forests were primarily for watershed protection. That seemed to be the greatest need at the time and of the most benefit to the people. The Commissioner of Forestry at that time fully realized the need for recreation. On one of the first purchases is now located the Mont Alto Sanatorium, now under the direction of the Health Depart ment. This Sanatorium was establish ed by the first Commissioner of Forestry, Dr. Joseph T. Rothrock, Father of Forestry in Pennsylvania. He fully recognized the value of people living in the outdoors and em ploying their leisure time in health ful habits. Dr. Rothrock saw the value of the outdoor life. He spent many years in the woods and often remarked that his trips to the woods saved many doctor bills.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
