Synopsis
Excerpt from General Information Regarding the National Monuments: Set Aside Under the Act of Congress Approved June 8, 1906
The designations of the monuments, some of which at first sight appear formidable and difficult to pronounce, will be found on closer examination to be both interesting and appropriate. Most of the names refer either to the character of the monument or its geo graphical location. Gila Cliff Dwellings, Grand Canyon, Jewel Cave, Natural Bridges, Pinnacles, and Petrified Forest suggest at once the character of the reservations, while Colorado, Sitka, Mount Olympus, and Oregon Caves indicate their location. E1 Morro (the castle) if mentioned by its local descriptive name Inscription Rock, is at once divested of its unfamiliar form, and the designation Dinosaur becomes plain to anyone who has seen specimens or read descriptions of the wonderful extinct reptiles whose remains are here found in such numbers.
