Yellowstone Park.

In 1872 Congress passed an act for setting apart a large tract of the public domain, about 40 miles square, lying near the head-waters of the Yellowstone River, on the northeastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, for a public park. Its present extent is about 5,500 square miles. It is dedicated to “the pleasure and enjoyment of the people of the United States.”

Harper and Brothers Publishers. . New York. 1902.
