Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Acting Superintendent of the Yellowstone National Park to the Secretary of the Interior, 1902 Sir: In compliance with instructions contained in your letter of July 2, 1902, I have the honor to submit the following report of the condition of affairs in, and of the management of, the Yellowstone National Park since the fiscal year ended June 30, 1901: The American people, or at least the traveling public of the United States, seem at last to have awakened to the fact that there are many wonderful things to be seen on our own continent as well as in the Old World, and travel throughout the Western States has vastly increased during the past summer. The Yellowstone National Park, which has frequently been called Wonderland, and which is, in fact, one of the most wonderful and interesting. Sections on our continent, has not been neglected, and during the past season has been visited by more tourists and travelers than ever before. Congress has also realized the fact that in the park we have something of great value and interest to the people of the United States, and the liberal appropriations for improve ments in the park made last year will enable the engineer officer in charge to place the roads throughout the park in such a condition as to greatly increase the pleasure and comfort of travel through it in the future. Unfortunately for the tourist of the past season, the appropriation for the improvement of the roads did not become avail able this year until July 1, too late to enable the officer in charge to' do much work which would add to the comfort of the tourist, but this work will be continued in many places during the entire winter, so that by the opening of the next season great improvement in the condition of the roads will be seen.
