Managing the Matchless Wonders: A History of Administrative Development in Yellowstone National Park, 1872-1965.

摘要

This study begins with the first administration of Yellowstone National Park in 1872, and ends around 1965, with the nominal end of the so-called Mission 66 program, a massive effort to revamp national parks with adequate facilities designed both to accommodate and to educate masses of Americans eager to explore them. This document examines the structures built during the first 90 years of the parks history, and the policies adopted by the various administrations both to protect the parks resources and to interpret those same resources for visitor enjoyment.
