[Geysers] History of Yellowstone-Need Advice

[David Monteith]

Becky.

Three ideas.

1) t\Transition of the park from military to civilian management with the 
establishment of the NPS in 1916.

2) Introduction of cars to the park, the end of the stagecoach and how this 
changed the visitor experience -- approximately 1915

3) (Re)establishment of the bison heard in the park.
