Admin/Biographical History |
Each issue comprises short vignettes by ranger-naturalists about natural and cultural park topics. Yosemite Nature Notes and Yellowstone's contemporaneously-spawned and eponymously-titled iteration (1921-1958) provided the first models for other such publications throughout the National Park System. This type of publication was a common interpretative tool in the mid-twentieth century within the National Park system. Parks with a Nature Notes program included Mount Rainier National Park (1923-1939), Grand Canyon National Park (1926-1935), Zion/Bryce Canyon National Park (1920s-1930s), Glacier National Park (1920s-1930s), and Acadia National Park (1930s). There is scant compiled information about the park-wide Nature Notes programs. Although not all articles are attributed to a particular author, it is possible to track the career of frequent contributors in those that are. Issues feature the writing of Jack Moomaw, Ruth Ashton Nelson, Dorr Yeager, William Kearns, Dean T. Cornwall, Wendell S. Wilson, and others. |
