President Theodore Roosevelt chose the serene beauty of Elkhorn Ranch to heal his soul after the loss of both his mother and his young wife within hours of each other. It is now one of America's 11 most endangered historic places. Mining and oil interests have all but finalized plans for an access bridge and highway and a gravel pit. Please urge President Obama to use his Executive Authority to declare this piece of paradise off limits.
