  • Conservationists and the Battles to Keep Dams out of Yellowstone: Hetch Hetchy Overturned
    Conservationists and the Battles to Keep Dams Out of Yellowstone: Hetch Hetchy Overturned Michael J. Yochim Abstract Between 1919 and 1938 irrigation interests in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming repeatedly tried to construct reservoirs in Yellowstone National Park by damming several large park lakes and Bechler Meadows. Conservationists of the time joined forces with Horace Albright and Steven Mather of the National Park Service to oppose the dams. Ultimately successful in all their efforts, their key victory came in 1923 when they defeated an attempt to dam Yellowstone Lake. This victory reversed the loss of protected status for national parks that had occurred just ten years earlier at Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park. By chronicling the protracted conflict over dams in Yellowstone, I illustrate that the conservationists (including Mather and Albright) reestablished the funda- mental preservation policy of the national parks and empowered the newly cre- ated National Park Service to carry out its mission of park protection. This effort was the key battle in proving national parks and wilderness to be inviolate to industrial, exploitive uses. Conservationists both defined and tested the inviolate policy in Yellowstone; their battles in Dinosaur National Monument and the Grand Canyon cemented it into place. Introduction Far off, there lies a lovely lake Which rests in beauty, there to take Swift pictures of the changing sky, Ethereal blues, and clouds piled high. When black the sky, when fall the rains, When blow fierce winds, her face remains Still beautiful, but agitate, Nor mirrors back their troubled state. Within a park this treasure lies, — Such region ne’er did man devise — The hand of Mighty God, alone, Could form the Park of Yellowstone.

  • Than Campfire Conversation
    More Than Campfire Conversation In 1903, Theodore Roosevelt insisted on camping alone with John Muir while the pres- ident was on a tour of Yosemite. This encounter no doubt encouraged Roosevelt to support the eventual inclusion of Yosemite Valley into the larger Yosemite National Park. With the 2016 National Park Service (NPS) commemorations winding down, I took another look at the agency’s centennial webpage where there is a special feature with the biographies of “ear- ly national park visionary leaders” (https://www.nps.gov/bestideapeople/index.html) Muir and Roosevelt are there, reunited once again and given top billing as the lead visionaries of the national park movement, along with Stephen Mather, the politically adroit and charismat- ic first NPS director (Figure 1). Figure 1. “The Early Leaders,” from the National Park Service website. The George Wright Forum, vol. 33, no. 3, pp. 271–274 (2016). © 2016 George Wright Society. All rights reserved.

However, national parks had already been in existence for more than 30 years at the time of the camping trip, and the establishment of a National Park Service would not happen until 1916, 13 years later, when Roosevelt had long been out of office and John Muir was dead.

The Yosemite Park and Curry Company (YP&C C) was organized in 1925 when Yosemite National Park’s two largest concessionaires, the Yosemite National Park Co. (previously the D.J. Desmond Co.) which operated the Yosemite Lodge and other smaller enterprises at Yosemite, and the Curry Camping Co. which operated Camp Curry, merged. Creation of the new company was the culmination of a decade-long effort by NPS Director Stephen Mather to consolidate services at Yosemite to better serve the visiting public and more efficiently develop visitor services in the park. YP&CC eventually acquired rights to the Wawona Hotel concession (1923) as well as the Degnan Family’s Valley concession (1974). YP&CC remained a Curry Family controlled corporation until the death of Mary Curry Tressider in 1970.

Albright Interviewers: Gyongyver "Kitty" Beuchert and Forrest Anderson Date of Interview: June 21,1979 Project: Boone and Crockett Club Oral History Project Gyongyver "Kitty" Beuchert: The following is an oral history interview with Horace M. Albright on June 21 and 22, 1979, at his home at Sherman Apartments, 14144 Dickens Street, Sherman Oaks, California. The interviewers are Judge F.

[Break in audio] Mr. Albright, could you give us your birthdate and your place of birth? Horace Albright: I was born January 6, 1890, in a little mountain town of Bishop, which is about 280 miles north of here in the Orange Valley on the east side of the High Sierra and about 50 miles from the eastern boundary of Yosemite National Park. GB: Your family went back to Candelaria for three years, didn't they, to live? HA: Well my family were living in Candelaria at the time I was born. There was no doctor there, and the expectant mothers would go to Bishop where there was a doctor. They could get on the little railroad and come over, and after the baby was born, they'd come back from Bishop.
