My thesis examines the first years of the federal forest administration of the United States and its ties with German foresters from the German Empire from 1891 to 1914. It focuses particularly on its implementation in several Western States that were incorporated into the United States between 1890 and 1912, as well as in the territory of Puerto Rico. Its objective is to assess the extent to which the adoption and inauguration of a centralized forest administration signals a turning point for U.S. governance and for international influence exerted by the United States at the turn of the twentieth century.
