Many would argue that Charles R. McGimsey has a claim to "fathering" CRM
(not because of his initials, however). McGimsey was a central figure in
the Federal-level negotiations that resulted in the passage of the
Moss-Bennet legislation that lies at the core of most modern archaeological
preservation law, and his book "Public Archaeology" published by Seminar
Press in 1972 was arguably the first substantive articulation of the
evolving field. McGimsey, and colleagues such as Hester Davis, had worked
successfully to craft a progressive state program in Arkansas, beginning in
the late 50's. It naturally followed that they became involved as the
issue rose on the national scene.
