|Discoverer of Yellowstone Called
Biggest Liar as He Told of Beauties
''Plum Loco" Said Cowboys
When Jim Bridger
Described Ceysers
Back in Cos.

Ashton, Idaho, May 20.-Labeled
as the biggest liar west Of the Mis-.
souri," Jim Bridger, cowboy, died 20
years before the world learned that
he had told the truth.
Bridger discovered the natural
wonders that made Yellowstone Ma
tional park. Riding out over the
rim of nowhere" he discovered boil
ing water spouting from the earth
and saw tendrils of smoke towering
toward heaven. ...
Cowboys didn't talk much back in
the Sixties" But Bridger did talk.
He told his comrades about the won
ders he had discovered, And, in cow
boy jargon, he was given the merry
ha-hap
plum loco," derided his pals Of
the corral. "Daffy as the demented
granddad Of an alligator-erazy a.
prune!'
LOCO" explains Philip Ashton
Rollins, Princeton graduate, who
has written a history OF cowboys
and their ways, means madness.
The boys all thought Jim was loco
because he told them he had seen
geysers gushing up steaming water
from the bowels of the earth. 1t
sounded like an Arabian Night story
to them.
Branded Liar.
"And so Jim was branded the big
gest liar west Of the Missouri That
appellation clung to his memory for
20 years after his death.
The truth of his discovery now is
given to the world in Yellowstone
National park. His story about the
geysers proved real. Jim Bridger
discovered Yellowstone National
park and didn't know 1t. He was
laughed to scorn by his playmates
Of the plains"
In 1869 c. w. Cook and David
Folsom, hearing the persistent sto-
ries of Rridger. decided to investi-
gate. They rode out to the land of
the geysers and discovered what now
is Yellowstone National park. They
were followed by the Washburn ex-
pedition, members of which con-
ceived the idea of a national park.
Their idea was capitalized, and near
Madison Junction today you will
find a marker dated September lo,
1870, which sets forth the national
park idea. In the party that con-
ceived the idea for the birth of yell
1owstone National park were Gen.
H. D. Washburn, Lieut.. 6. c.
Doane and several civilians.
