YELLOWSTONE
An Exploration Of Our First National Political Park
I’ve finally revisited this page and gotten my stuff in a pile. The outline is coming together and the pages are too.
The simple chore of updating and editing is becoming a task, and may grow to proportions beyond sanity. This will continue to serve as both a general reference and a learning experience. It has already helped with the job and for that I’m thankful.
I’ve added a left side bar widget for RECENT UPDATES. When it becomes cumbersome, I’ll delete the old as new information is added.
You will notice that in addition to the excerpted and free pages some results of the work here are beginning to creep in. This shows at least a modicum of progress.
The mechanics of the software still inhibit graceful presentation. When I master the software the pages will be ordered on the Home Page and here in the same sequence. This is a bit foreign, but it’s coming along.
The entries at the bottom of the page are from the park’s 125 year press release. They an overview of park historic events that were presented as papers at the celebration at Mammoth.
