oeiyed the idea of a national park
Their idea was capitalized, and near
Madison junction today you will
find a marker dated September 49,
1870, which sets forth the national
park idea. In the party that CON
ceiYed the idea for the birth of Yel-
lowstone Park were General H. d.
Washburn, Lieutenant G.. C. Doane
and several civilians.
Were Jim Bridger alive today he
might SLIP his riding chaps and
ehoFtle at his fellows of the corral:
81 told you So, he might exult
You didn't believe me. You called
me the biggest liar west of the Mis-
'souri Come on out and look it over,
you bunch of cowstall bums!"
Those cowboys who lived after
Bridger were willing to admit the
righteousness of his story. They
were the first to see Yellowstone af-
ter word was sent that the great
park was in the making. The play
ground of Gods Country - found by
jim Bridger, their pal, was to be-
come the most famous spot of scenic
beauty en- the face Of this man s
great, green, gorgeous earth.
But ellowstone today exceeds in
beauty the wonders of it's embryo
being as described by Bridger
Things Of beauty are there now that
never We're seen by the cowboys OF
Jim's day.
And some of the things described
by Bridger are not there. Nor were
they ever there The trees in Ycl-
lowstone are not blue, and the SKY
is not pink, and the water in tho
great lake is not the color of red ink
and the goyaers do not spout molten
metal. Further, there are no grizzly
bears pQking their noses from wood
land crcyices at passersby. The
''denizcns OF the woods" now are
haples8 bears, tanned to meet the do
mand OF modern days.
( On June Is more tlan 100000
visitors from throughout the worlt
are expect ed TO view the exquisite
beauties of this great park. The
semi-centenninl celebration will be
gin on tina. date, in accordance will
a Congressional bill, passed il
March, 1872, which created tht
park.
