[Geysers] History of Yellowstone-Need Advice

[D B]

Hey guys,  Kind of a lurker here myself,  I heard a story once and don't remember much.  How's that for the start of a great history paper.  Anyway,  I think it had something to do with the Lake hotel,   a rich man and a boat.  lol,  I have made a friend that works usually at Lake. I will email him and find out the story.  Anyway,  the boat was suppose to be something quite special and the man was rich,  used the boat to entertain guests.  I think it went aground and was abandoned.  the engine was later removed and I think it may have been the original generator for the hotel.  Dont quote me on that.  I know this sounds silly,  and I know it isn't much help,  but it did stick in my mind when you were asking for interesting history in yellowstone.  Maybe someone on the list knows the story better.  I will email my friend and ask him,  then let you know.  
Doug

The Park historian has a good book out on the subject.  It covers indian killings, stagecoach holdups, thermal deads, etc.  Quite a subject in the Parks history.   Gary Henderson
