William O. Douglas
William O. Douglas lived from 1898 to 1980 mostly in the Pacific Northwest and became very familiar with the high Cascades which became his home. In 1922, he went to law school in Columbia and later returned to practice law in Yakima but later he returned to Columbia Law School and Yale (Sowards, 2006, 25).
According to Sowards, William O. Douglas was a US Supreme Court Justice from the 1950s to the 1970s. He worked to protect the Olympic beach and Cougar Lakes. During his work he made it the “importance of local connections, broader ties, and changing environmental legislation” (Sowards, 2006, 21). In 1964 he published an article in Ladies’ Home Journal “America’s Vanishing Wilderness” which helped pass the Wilderness Act to help protect millions of acres for a start (22).
Douglas used his influential friends to promote wildlife during World War II (22) because he was very determined to protect the wilderness. He was also very smart about using his position in Washington to protect Cascade Mountains in the Olympic Peninsula.
