On April 30, 1803 France and the United States signed the Louisiana Purchase Treaty, causing the Louisiana Territory to transfer from French to United States control for the price of fifteen million dollars.1 The territorial acquisition was agreed upon by Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul of the Republic of France, and Robert R. Livingston and James Monroe, both of whom were acting on behalf of the United States. Monroe and Livingston only negotiated for New Orleans and the mouth of the Mississippi, but Napoleon in regard to the territory said “I renounce Louisiana.

Yellowstone National Park for me: - YNP: 1872, first time in world history that a nation set aside a resource for the enjoyment of the common people, forever. - For me, a very special place, a very special feeling; so linked with our nation’s history. - The beginning of the conservation movement.

  • Yellowstone: an Overview No Matter How Many Times One May Visit Yellowstone National Park, the Scenery of This Place Is Always New and Different
    Yellowstone: An Overview No matter how many times one may visit Yellowstone National Park, the scenery of this place is always new and different. My last photo program of Yellowstone was in 1998. That program can be found on acuri.net ‐ USA ‐ Wyoming (see in sources). This photo program series was taken between August and September 2019. There are five entrances to the park. The only two entrances that are open year‐round are North and Northeast. The other entrances are open to over‐the‐snow vehicles. They are closed to wheeled vehicles from November through mid‐April. Fees into the park are based on various categories. It covers 3,472 square miles and was established on March 1, 1872. Ninety‐six percent of the park is in Wyoming, three percent in Montana and one percent in Idaho. This photo program series on Yellowstone National Park includes nine subject titles. They are Artist Point, Canyon Visitor Education Center, Lamar Valley, Lake Hotel, Mammoth Hot Springs, Midway Geyser Basin, Norris Geyser Basin and Old Faithful. How Yellowstone got its name: "The park is located at the headwaters of the Yellowstone River, from which it takes its name. In the eighteenth century, French Trappers named the river "Roche Jaune," which is probably a translation of the Minnetaree name "Mi tsi a‐da‐zi" (Rock Yellow River). Later, American trappers rendered the French name in English as "Yellow Stone." Although it is commonly believed that the river was named for the yellow rocks seen in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Native American name source is not clear." <nps.gov> Famous names and topics to further your learning more about Yellowstone are: "Tribal oral histories indicate more extensive use during the Little Ice Age.

  • Reader's Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West
    Reader©s Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West Antoine Clement, by Alfred Jacob Miller Compiled by Stuart Wier October 25, 2010 This is a guide to the best books about the mountain men of the American west which I know about. Anyone can find a book here to suit them: casual readers, students, enthusiasts, reenactors, and historians. I include a few less distinguished books, too, when they are the only thing about a topic. For some fifteen years -- roughly speaking, 1823 to 1838 and beyond -- the western U.S. was the domain of the mountain men, fur trappers who spent years traveling and living in the wilderness. Long before wagon trains, settlers, gold rushes, cavalry, Indian wars, cowboys, wild west towns, or railroads, mountain men were the first from the U.S. to see the Rocky Mountains and the lands from the plains to the Pacific. Their life was highly free and adventuresome, and often dangerous and short, lived in a shining wilderness. Where to begin? Many books, many choices. For a readable and short introduction try Give Your Heart to the Hawks by Winfred Blevins. For detailed histories try A Life Wild and Perilous by Robert M. Utley or the classic history Across the Wide Missouri by Bernard DeVoto. Or try some of the best biographies, such as Westering Man The Life of Joseph Walker by Bil Gilbert and Jedediah Smith and the Opening of the West by Dale L. Morgan. For adventures or "camp fire tales" try the personal journals and narratives written by some of the mountain men themselves.

  • Introducing Children to National Parks
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1990 Volume III: The U.S. National Parks Movement Introducing Children To National Parks Curriculum Unit 90.03.06 by Maureen Onofrio All children love parks—They love playing in them—the park connotes an enjoyable experience to them. I’d like to take this natural love for the outdoors and use it to foster an interest and concern for all national parks, in a unit that would introduce children to the history and location of America’s National Parks. This unit will explain what a National Park is—how did it get to be one—and just where are they located, so that the children will have an historical starting point. Many facets of education can be interwoven into a study of National Parks. The skills of inferencing, sequencing and fact-finding would be utilized in the reading of the historical accounts of the first man to explore the parks. Map skills would definitely be an outcome of the unit. Children could do location lessons—plotting the locales of various park sites, using Latitude and Longitude. Math skills also could be incorporated in the unit with lessons on mileage, sizes of park areas, and a Time Line of historical happenings. This unit would be an on-going one through the school year as each different area of the United States is introduced and studied. There are not many books written about National Parks for children, so a great asset to teaching this unit will be Visual Aids. The beauty of the Parks needs to be seen.

    FALL NUMBER 2016 36 Vintage Maps and Guides for the Yellowstone Trail By Dave Habura, YTA Board Member and Northwest Correspondent, photos by author Over the years I have collected several hundred maps and travel guides, and have looked to see where our Trail is cited by name in a guide or on a map. The original Yellowstone Trail Association did not publish a guide showing the Trail in detail. In fact when we try today to determine the exact route of the Trail in some parts of the country, the experts have to rely on a variety of resources from a hundred years ago. I am not an expert! But over the years I have collected a variety of resources that I enjoy using. I want to share some of them here and give a very short elaboration on where you might find many like them. Let’s start with Rand McNally Auto Trail maps, or perhaps Clason’s Maps. Both identify the route of the Trail by name, either on the map, or by number and trail blaze. Rand McNally also attempted to show the road surface with little hash marks on one side or both sides of a road. Both are available on sites like eBay, and both are in single sheets and atlases. You will quickly discover that small scale maps like Rand McNally and Clason’s are Clason’s Map Co. Example great as a starting point, but they don’t give Rand McNally Map Example you much detail. For detail you will want to turn to publications that provided turn by turn descriptions or more detailed strip maps.
