Babcock (1873-1945) 24 by Mike Milligan
The Dentists’ Sabbatical on the Grand River in 1897 James Edwin Miller (1857-1945) 40 and Oro DeGarmo (O.D.) Babcock (1873-1945) 24 By Mike Milligan In the early years of boating on the Green and Colorado Rivers there tended to be a bit of jealous rivalry among a number of the boaters who made history. They wanted their boating excursions documented according to their perspective, while sometimes questioning the exploits of others. Examples include whether James White truly was the first through the Grand Canyon in 1867? Questions whether the three men who left Major Powell’s expedition in 1869 were cowards or did divisiveness split them up at Separation Rapid in the Grand Canyon? During the 1889 DCC& P Railroad survey did surveyor Frank Clarence Kendrick portage Westwater (Hades/Granite) Canyon out of fear while surveying the Colorado (Grand) River from Grand Junction to the Confluence with the Green River? Their experiences in the Grand Canyon caused a few of the boaters to become Colorado and Green River historians as they diligently gathered as much information while it was fresh from living boaters and other sources for those that they could not locate or who had died. The preeminent historians were Frederick S. Dellenbaugh and Robert Brewster Stanton. Both men were part of two of the earliest boating expeditions down the Grand Canyon. They wrote biographies of documenting their historical voyages that were published.1 There were some controversial opinions regarding each other’s expedition that is noted above. Later, Otis R. “Dock” Marston would assume the role as historian when he took up the mantle and gathered volumes more of data that is commonly used by current authors who write books about the Grand Canyon today. -

Historical Grazing on the Ashley National Forest
HISTORICAL GRAZING ON THE ASHLEY NATIONAL FOREST A Research Contract between the USDA, Forest Service, Intermountain Region, and the University of Utah’s American West Center FS Agreement No. 10-CS-11046000-035 Report and Database by Michael L. Shamo Co-Principal Investigators: Dr. Matthew Basso and Dr. Paul Reeve August 15, 2012 CONTENTS Introduction 1 Note on Sources 3 An Overview of the Region’s History and Geography 6 Early History 9 The Ashley Valley 14 The Uinta Basin 24 Daggett County 35 The Ashley National Forest 44 Appendix A: Positive Results Appendix B: Negative Results Appendix C: Contextual Results Appendix D: Utah Brand Books INTRODUCTION In August 2010, the Forest Service contracted with the University of Utah’s American West Center to research the early settlement history and use of livestock on lands that are now in or adjacent to the boundaries of the Ashley National Forest. The purpose of the report that follows is to provide documentation supporting the earliest historic use of water for livestock, as well as to deepen understanding of early settlement and grazing in Utah. As this project began, the Ashley National Forest had only partial documentation about grazing on forest lands prior to 1905 (the year Congress transferred control of the nation’s forest reserves to the newly created Forest Service). In 1903 water rights in Utah were required by statute. The various forest reserves that would ultimately combine to form the Ashley were also created around the same time. The area that now comprises the Ashley National Forest began as the Uintah Forest Reserve in 1897. -

ARCHES NATIONAL PARK Double Arch Although there are arches and natural bridges found all over the world, these natural phenomena nowhere are found in such profusion as they are in Arches National Park, located in Grand County, Utah, north of the town of Moab. The Colorado River forms the southern boundary of the park, and the LaSal Mountains are visible from most viewpoints inside the park`s boundaries. The park is situated in the middle of the Colorado Plateau, a vast area of deep canyons and prominent mountain ranges that also includes Canyonlands National Park, Colorado National Monument, Natural Bridges National Monument, and Dinosaur National Monument. The Colorado Plateau is covered with layers of Jurassic-era sandstones; the type most prevalent within the Park is called Entrada Sandstone, a type that lends itself to the arch cutting that gives the park its name. Arches National Park covers more than 73,000 acres, or about 114 square miles. There are more than 500 arches found inside the park′s boundaries, and the possibility exists that even more may be discovered. The concentration of arches within the park is the result of the angular topography, much exposed bare rock, and erosion on a major scale. In such an arid area - annual precipitation is about 8.5 inches per year - it is not surprising that the agent of most erosion is wind and frost. Flora and fauna in the park and its immediate surrounding area are mainly desert adaptations, except in the canyon bottoms and along the Colorado River, where a riverine or riparian environment is found. -
