This book provides a detailed examination of the fifty-two years of controversy that culminated in the creation of Grand Teton National Park. Beginning with the U.S. Department of War’s recommended legislation to add the valley of Jackson Hole, Wyoming into Yellowstone National Park in 1898, this narrative documents the arguments and attitudes of opposing sides in the five decade long struggle to provide protection for the mountains, glacial lakes, and foreground in the northern portion of the valley. Included in this volume are nearly 500 photographs depicting concurrent settlement of the valley and the individuals who participated in these controversies.
