Day 7 We’re almost finished! Let me continue the fascinating story of Elliott Barker. Elliott served for 22 years as the Director of the Department of Game and Fish. Elliott had many achievements in conservation and they were brought to the attention of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR placed him on a committee that organized the National Wildlife Federation and Elliot was listed as one of the founding members. His greatest claim to fame came three years before he retired. After a blaze in the Lincoln National Forest by Ruidoso, NM, firefighters had rescued a tiny bear cub from a tree. The cub was orphaned and his feet had been badly burned in the fire. A call was made to Barker who agreed to take the cub and little bear was flown to Santa Fe. Barker raised the cub until it had grown to large to keep. Elliott got the idea of turning the bear back to the @U.S.ForestService and promoting him as a symbol of fire prevention. This was the creation of Smokey the Bear. Smokey became one of the most recognized images ever used by the government. Barker traveled with Smokey to Washington and his new home at the @NationalZoo. School children wrote so many letters to Smokey that he was issued his own zip code. New Mexico created the Smokey Bear Historical State Park in the town of Capitan, NM. When Smokey died he was brought home to New Mexico from Washington and buried at the park. Elliott had several books and poems about his wilderness experiences published. He married Ethel M. Arnold in 1911. They had three children. Elliott died in 1988 in Santa Fe at the age of 101. #Day7
