John G. White's scholarly manuscript entitled "A Souvenir of Wyoming" contains much material of a provocative character. Nice points of detail are raised concerning John Colter's route and other trapper visitations.
The chapter on "Travel and Accommodations--New Businesses" was the result of a search through the standard magazines covering the half century from 1870 to 1920. The State College of Washington collection was found adequate for this survey.
It would be impossible to write the story of the Park's administration without a review of all the _Annual Reports of the Acting Superintendents, and Superintendents of Yellowstone National Park_. The Park Library has a complete file from 1872 to the present time. In addition, the _Reports of the Secretary of the Interior_ and the _Reports of the Director of National Parks_, covering the same period, were essential cross references in this effort. A complete set of these reports is available at the State College of Washington. A perusal of the soldier (scout) diaries in the Park Library gave the substance for the discussion of that interesting phase.
Among guide books _The Haynes Guide_ is in a class by itself. It is not only an invaluable hand book to the casual tourist, but it is an excellent encyclopedia for research.
The Earl of Dunraven's _Hunting in the Yellowstone_ affords an excellent narrative from the standpoint of measuring the progress of all phases of Park activity.
_Yellowstone Nature Notes_ is the best source for those sprightly experiences that make life so interesting and pleasant in the Park.
