(061) From a note included by a modern family member: Hunter's exploits included many activities, wagon-master, gold-mining, Indian fighting, Indian Scout for the U. S. Army and ultimately even an entry in politics. At one time he was the Sheriff of Pacific County and became a Colonel in the Militia during the Indian wars in eastern Washington.

Average. Left side of map remargined with some infill into the map. See verso image. Size 24.5 x 18.75 Inches. This impressive, early promotional chromolithographic map of Yellowstone National Park was prepared by Carl J. Hals and Arvid Rydstrom in 1882 and was printed by Poole Brothers for the Northern Pacific Railroad. It coincided with the Northern Pacific's opening of a rail link to the park, the first easy means for the masses to access it, which helped boost the park's image in the popular imagination and spur Western American nature tourism. A Closer Look Coverage includes the entirety of Yellowstone National Park. Color contrast is used to represent changes in elevation, with mountain peaks labeled and their elevations noted. The Yellowstone River, Yellowstone Lake, Shoshone Lake, and other waterways are traced, as are the handful of wagon roads and trails running through the park and from it to the rail station at Cinnabar. Geysers, hot springs, and the small number of existing accommodations are also indicated. An inset map at the bottom-left displays the wider region, highlighting the connection of the Yellowstone branch line to the mainline of the Northern Pacific at Livingston, Montana. The verso contains a fascinating reimagining of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , in which an adult Alice writes a letter to 'Edith,' probably a reference to the youngest child of Carroll's friend Henry Liddell, whose middle child Alice provided the name for the novel's protagonist. In the letter, Alice tells her 'cousin' about the wonders of Yellowstone, 'every bit as strange and bewildering' as her dream described in Carroll's book. This imagined letter was a clever and creative way for the Northern Pacific to promote the park and the railway simultaneously. Interspersed are illustrations of Alice enjoying the park, natural scenes, and other images evoking adventure and excitement. A final panel lays out a series of tour options, originating in St. Paul and offering various itineraries of the park's main attractions. Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone National Park, established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872, is America's first and most famous national park. The park occupies the northwestern corner of Wyoming and parts of Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone is considered to be the world's first national park. Today, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park is known for its incredible geothermal features, the most famous of which is the Old Faithful Geyser. Yellowstone's iconic geothermal activity is caused by a dormant supervolcano, the largest in North America, lying directly under the park. Yellowstone Lake, one of the largest high-elevation lakes on the continent, occupies the caldera's center. Yellowstone is also renowned for its wildlife, home to wolves, grizzly bears, elk, black bears, and America's largest wild bison herd. Yellowstone is one of the most popular National Parks in the United States, and millions visit Yellowstone annually to experience its mud pots, geysers, wildlife, and striking scenery. The Northern Pacific Railway and Yellowstone Although the establishment of Yellowstone National Park was a landmark event in American history, few people had the means, methods, and inclination to visit the park when it opened. Merely getting to the outskirts of Yellowstone would have been an extremely arduous journey, let alone roaming around within the park. In the park's first decade, official visitors numbered in the low hundreds. In contrast, unofficial 'visitors' included Native Americans who historically lived within or traveled across the park's boundaries, squatters, vandals, and poachers dedicated to massacring scores of buffalo, elk, and other animals. Nathaniel P. Langford (1832 - 1911) and other early park superintendents spent most of their time contending with these issues. However, in the early 1880s, the situation changed completely tha.
