Yellowstone National Park Retains Its Historic Conservator Role
The article recalls President Harding’s 1923 Yellowstone opening and his administration policy of absolute conservation for the park system. It highlights battles against commercial exploitation, past legislation, and key figures like Dr. John Wesley HIM and Scott Leavitt, noting Yellowstone’s vast scope, racial and scenic wonders, and Harding’s Alaska visit. It also traces park history from Colter’s early accounts to the park’s 3438 square miles and future expansion toward Jackson Hole.
