-'''Robert "Bob" Marshall''' was born in [[New York City]], [[USA]] on [[January 2]], [[1901]]. He was the son of noted constitutional lawyer Louis Marshall, who was instrumental in securing "forever wild" protection for the Adirondack Forest Preserve in New York State. Bob Marshall was an indefatigable crusader for wilderness protection, and a life long socialist, who died of heart failure at the age of 38 while on a midnight train en-route from Washington, D.C. to New York City on [[November 11]], [[1939]].

-He was known as a tireless conservationist and visionary for wilderness preservation. Bob Marshall was the first person to suggest formal organization of individuals dedicated to the preservation of primeval land. In the February, 1930, issue of the "Scientific Monthly" magazine, he promulgated the challenging and militant statement: "There is just one hope of repulsing the tyrannical ambition of civilization to conquer every niche on the whole earth. That hope is the organization of spirited people who will fight for the freedom of the wilderness." Five years later in 1935, [[The Wilderness Society (United States)|The Wilderness Society]] was formally founded in Washington, D.C. by Bob Marshall, [[Benton MacKaye]], [[Aldo Leopold]], [[Bernard Frank]], and [[Harvey Broome]]. [[Robert Sterling Yard]] became the Society's first president. Marshall's dream of permanent wilderness protection became a reality 25 years after his death when President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] signed [[The Wilderness Act]] into law on September 3, 1964, at the Rose Garden of the White House. The Wilderness Act was authored by [[Howard Zahniser]], but he died four months before the Act became the law of the land. The signing of The Wilderness Act was the most historic event in the history of The Wilderness Society; Mardy Murie and Alice Zahniser stood next to LBJ when he signed the legislation. With The Wilderness Act, the United States became the first country in the world to guarantee permanent protection of untrammeled land for future generations.

-The [[Bob Marshall Wilderness]], in both [[Flathead National Forest|Flathead]] and [[Lewis and Clark National Forest]]s in [[Montana]] is named after him. This wilderness area encompasses a million acres (4,000 km²) and is one of the most preserved ecosystems in the world. The Bob Marshall Wilderness Area is the second largest wilderness in the contiguous 48 states. (The [[Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness]] in Idaho is the biggest wilderness in the United States outside of Alaska).

-Bob Marshall's explorations and early field work in the [[Brooks Range]] of northern [[Alaska]] in the 1930's resulted in the posthumous publication of ''Alaska Wilderness, Exploring the Central Brooks Range'' (1956) which served as a seminal work inspiring the establishment of the largest national park in the United States in the late 1970s: the [[Gates of the Arctic National Park]].
