  • Thesis Rapid Ascent: Rocky Mountain National Park In
    THESIS RAPID ASCENT: ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK IN THE GREAT ACCELERATION, 1945-PRESENT Submitted by Mark Boxell Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Mark Fiege Ben Bobowski Adrian Howkins John Lindenbaum Jared Orsi Copyright by Mark Boxell 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT RAPID ASCENT: ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK IN THE GREAT ACCELERATION, 1945-PRESENT After the Second World War’s conclusion, Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) experienced a massive rise in visitation. Mobilized by an affluent economy and a growing, auto- centric infrastructure, Americans rushed to RMNP in droves, setting off new concerns over the need for infrastructure improvements in the park. National parks across the country experienced similar explosions in visitation, inspiring utilities- and road-building campaigns throughout the park units administered by the National Park Service. The quasi-urbanization of parks like RMNP implicated the United States’ public lands in a process of global change, whereby wartime technologies, cheap fossil fuels, and a culture of techno-optimism—epitomized by the Mission 66 development program—helped foster a “Great Acceleration” of human alterations of Earth’s natural systems. This transformation culminated in worldwide turns toward mass-urbanization, industrial agriculture, and globalized markets. The Great Acceleration, part of the Anthropocene— a new geologic epoch we have likely entered, which proposes that humans have become a force of geologic change—is used as a conceptual tool for understanding the connections between local and global changes which shaped the park after World War II.

  • What Does It Mean to Visit a Place Like Rocky Mountain National Park? Visitors Tell Their Stories in Colorado
    WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO VISIT A PLACE LIKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK? VISITORS TELL THEIR STORIES IN COLORADO Jeffrey J. Brooks John P. Titre George N. Wallace Colorado State University College of Natural Resources Department of Natural Resource Recreation & Tourism “It has become evident to me from my own and others’ experiences in a variety of studies, that stories are a recurrent and prominent feature of respondents’ accounts in all types of interviews.” Elliot G. Mishler, 1986a, p. 235 ABSTRACT Human experience can be rich and filled with meaning in special places that are protected for natural resource and outdoor recreation value. Within a hermeneutic and meaning-based framework, we interviewed both day and overnight visitors in both developed and backcountry settings at Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, United States. The objective was to describe and interpret the relationship between park visitors and the resource setting. Interviews were in depth, semi-structured, and audio recorded to capture subjective meanings of the experience. Questions and probes regarding important characteristics of the setting, special places, feelings and emotions, and pros and cons of protecting wilderness guided informants’ responses. Interview transcripts for two sample individuals were interpreted as personal narratives about the experience of the setting. These idiographic (i.e., within individual) analyses were organized around two broad themes: (1) claimed identity expressed through the interview and (2) current personal project(s) in which the individual was engaged. Recurrent sub themes and dimensions of identity and current project for each individual are explored (e.g., object- centered and subject-centered experience and spirituality).

  • COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by Vol
    The State Historical Society of Colorado THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by Vol. XXXIX Denver, Colorado, October, 1962 Number 4 Gold Boats on The Swan The Story of Ben Stanley Revett, Gold Dredger By Belle Turnbull* At the time that the material for use in writing about Revett was first examined, a number of papers were kept for reference. Of other papers, notes were made and the papers returned to Mrs. Melissa Hayden. At the time, since the objective was to use the notes for background in a story, notes were made sometimes without much attention to dates and sources, though they were kept in chronological order by year, only. For color and background the author is deeply indebted to the following, not one of whom is still living in 1962: George Robinson, dredgemaster, and later County Treasurer of Summit County and Mayor of Breckenridge; Mrs. Melissa Hayden, widow of Revett's secre­ tary, and herself Clerk of the District Court for many years; and George Robert Johnson, mining engineer, who permitted my presence on a gold dredge against the wishes of his swing shift crew, to whom a woman on board was anathema. Mr. Johnson's explanations of the operation of a gold dredge were lucid and helpful, even to a woman author. Thanks are also due to Gordon Goodridge, who dug in the Summit County records for data on placer grounds.-Author. In the history of deep mining for gold in Colorado, Ben Stanley Revett ranks as First Gold Dredger. Not only was he the first to carry through the financing, the building, and the management of the first dredge in Colorado to dig for gold; his resourcefulness and bulldog tenacity drove him on, year after year, to finish what he had begun: to find the best possible method of driving to bedrock and to bring up the gold.

My first word of thanks goes to my two research assistants, Daniel Knowles and Brandon Luedtke. Both Dan and Brandon proved indefatigable, poring through archival materials, clippings files, government reports, and other sources. I very much appreciate their resourcefulness, skill, and generosity. I literally could not have completed this report without their hard work. Mark Fiege of Colorado State University roped me into taking on this project, and he has remained a fount of energy, information, and enthusiasm throughout. Maren Bzdek of the Center for Public Lands History handled various administrative details efficiently and with good humor. At the National Park Service, Cheri Yost got me started and never failed to respond to my requests for help.
