• How the Army Saved Yellowstone National Park, 1880-1910 - Ben Hall, Age 10
Yellowstone was America's first national park, set aside in 1872 to preserve and protect its natural wonders. But who was there to protect the park from poachers, vandals, and developers? You guessed it! President Grant sent for the U.S. Army Cavalry! For thirty years, soldiers on horseback defended geysers, mud pots, wild animals, rivers, and wilderness from being plundered, over-used and abused. What would Yellowstone be like today without thirty years of dedicated work of our army?
