Saving Places that Matter: A Citizen's Guide to the National Historic
Preservation Act
Thomas F. King 
Published October 2006, 256 pp, $24.95 paperback

 

They’re going to wipe out your neighborhood or drive you off your ranch to
put in a transit station or a surface mine. How do you stop it? Tom King,
renowned expert on the heritage preservation process in the United States,
explains the ins and outs of Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and how it can be used to protect special places in your
community. King will show you the scope of the law, how it is often
misinterpreted or ignored by government agencies and developers, and how to
use its provisions to force others to pay attention to your concerns. He
explains the quirky role of the National Register of Historic Places and the
importance of consultation in getting what you want. King provides you with
examples of how people like you can use the Section 106 process to stop
wanton development, and encourages you to do the same. 

 

“No one understands the section 106 review process as well as Tom King does!
His many years of experience and esoteric understanding of the 106 review
process are unparalleled. Tom’s expert advice on steering us through this
maze of regulations has been invaluable in trying to save Abó Canyon and our
traditional ranching way of life from the ravages of a very destructive
train-tracking project”     

-Jean Sawyer-Rosas & Luis Rosas, Dripping Springs Ranch, New Mexico

 

“Without Dr. Thomas F. King's intellect, understanding, passion and
informative books concerning the intricacies of U.S. preservation law, there
would be no hope for average citizens to understand the complex/destructive
world of the developer, their manipulation of the National Historic
Preservation Act, 106 Review, mis-use of state/federal agencies, departments
of transportation, Army Corps of Engineers, state and local planners for the
most profitable assault on the American people since the ruthless days of
the robber barons… It is my hope that Dr. King's experiences will help all
people begin to understand what we are losing every day in the name of
progress.”                     

-David W. Blake, Buckland, Virginia, Preservation Society
