Synopsis:
On August 17, 1886, Capt. Moses Harris and the troops of Company M rode into Yellowstone to take over guardianship of America's first national park. Receiving orders thereupon that the company was staying indefinitely, Captain Harris ordered the construction of Camp Sheridan. Seeing no end in sight for this temporary duty, the US War Department established Fort Yellowstone in 1891. For 32 years, ceremonial splendor of the US Army filled this era of Yellowstone with booming cannons at sunrise and sunset, crackling rifle-range practices, flashing saber drills, exacting military maneuvers, and dashing dress parades led by the regimental band. With the creation of the National Park Service in 1916, the Army began a two-year administrative transition and formally abandoned Fort Yellowstone in October 1918.
About the Author: Authors Elizabeth A. Watry and Lee H. Whittlesey are longtime Yellowstone residents and professional historians. Watry is a researcher, writer, speaker, and independent scholar specializing in the American West. Whittlesey is the Yellowstone National Park historian and author of numerous books on Yellowstone. This volume, the second in this
series for these coauthors, features more than 200 photographs from a variety of repositories including the Library of Congress, the Yellowstone National Park Museum Collection, the Yellowstone Gateway Museum, and private collections.
