Historians buck National Park Service: Horse heritage lost?

Medora, N.D. — The horses that wander Theodore Roosevelt National Park add splashes of animated color to the craggy buttes and grassy draws they call home. Bands of horses have long been a fixture of the park's South Unit. Officially, they serve as hoofed reminders of the open-range days when ranch horses helped cattle wranglers in the park's Little Missouri River badlands.
