Transcripts For CSPAN3 Yellowstone National Park 150 Years 20221007

Richard. Were all set. Were also very pro another local our events with bob richard. We are also proud today, you may have seen the fancier audio visual equipment, we are proud to present cspans filming this today so when you get home, you cannot only watch this on the center of the wet you to channel, youll be able to watch it on cspan. Anyway, this top has a very interesting genesis to me. Two of the earliest families in the area are the frost and richard family. The ross frost family had ranch outside of town and one summer, the photographer came for the summer and he had all this equipment. He had great plates, he had photography he had all these cameras, and he left them at the end of the summer. So a 28yearold net frost took all this equipment and at this point wasnt just a hunting guide in a trip to hunt he also became a photographer. And jack richard, became an esteemed photographer. So photography kind of runs in these families, and they have this rugged existence. But they have this creative direction. Bob is the son of richard and he will talk about the photography work of these two guys, and a few others for all i know. I would like to mention the work of mac frost here. Hes also a photographer i yanked the mic off the cspan, sorry. Well bob if you dont know what he, commenced his hunting guide career where he was a swim coach, he was a rancher, he worked for the american red cross. More permanent to these today, he was a red and Yellowstone National park, that was one of his first jobs. But i know he didnt come here to see me, you came here to hear the man, and thats why i will give you bob richard. [applause] thank you all for coming. What a treat for me to share with you and trying to put the Yellowstone Park, 150 years and 45 minutes. Its really tough. And i looked at many not frost photographs, of jay haynes photographs. Jack richard, fred richard photographs, some of my own. And i have mixed in my love of yellowstone. I call it my backyard. Granddad would let me drive the pick up at the age of ten. To yellowstone, as long as i remembered all the streams, all the mountains, and all of the rock formations. And if i missed one, then he lit up a big black cigar, and it was a gag, or and i had to sit between him and my grandmother when we went to yellowstone. So i learned quickly. I didnt know why. These are some of the people where weve gotten the photographs in todays presentation. That encompasses 150 years. This is a photograph that took of me, at artist point. And i had just come back from leave. And it came to my mind, net frost and fred richard and the family five generations, have been in yellowstone, 438 years. Thats quite a bit of time. This is old faithful, its one of my favorite photographs that ive taken. Mammoth hot springs, the trump 18 terraces. The springs, and they change every year with earthquakes its haynes is constantly. It changes the plumbing and everys break, i will go to yellowstone and see whats changed because of earthquakes. Thats taken of the lower falls. There are hundred and eight feet high. This is an interesting photograph. My dad took this in 1957, in black and white. And you can see, off to the right hand corner, the old faithful not a faithful, canyon hotel before it burned down. Then i flew over it in about 2006, and flew fairly close to where dad was. And photographed the same image. So you see what it was back in the 50s, and what it is today. These are always in the pictures, up until the 70s. Those are baking cubs. And then somebodys inspecting the camera, and of course, lots of things can happen theyre told they are dangerous, but people didnt believe it. Now, they dont believe, i called the disney syndrome. Let me walk up next to the buffalo and take a picture. Or next to the bear. Its always been a problem. This is a black bear. How did i get this close . I wrote down my window and took the picture. I did not get out of my car. This is called king of the road. Vigorously, look at the balls on his front feet. This is on silver pass, and the person i was with on tour said, lets get him in the car, by the time the pick up drove by, and the beer hopped into the pick up, and the bear drove off with it, and decided, i dont like this, and hopped off. Its one of my favorite photographs. This is a bear that was killed in a car accident up, as you come through the front door, has been mountain and shes there, she raised a lot of cubs, and her cubs are now full grown, and living on the north. These are two of the books by arbery haynes that i used as resource books. Im always looking for answers. Every time i look to yellowstone, ive been going there for a long time. This is another book, and i have these some of these books up here. You are welcome to look at them. Please leave them, because they are my resource books. But, it helps me find answers quickly. I dont tell guests why take them to yellowstone. Some story. I say, lets look them up and get the right answer, and they appreciate it. Weve had native americans living for over 11,000 years and yellowstone, usually they leave in the wintertime. But we did have winter around there and the hot springs. This is chief joseph that went through 1877 with a couple of thousand horses, im sorry, over 1000 horses. And 700 people. The traveled from washington all the way through idaho, and turn north, and stopped just shy of the canadian border. And fresh troops from they had a battle, and chief joseph put down his arms and said, i will fight no more. Jim berger, he came through here in the 18 twenties, and reported, and other reported, on yellowstone. Most people didnt believe what they saw, or will they told. The next are surveys that came through, through railroads, hotels, minors. Basically looking all over the park but cook city to, we hundreds came in and harvested game in the summertime. Sport hunters came in, they didnt have anyone to begin once or keepers. Soldiers were finally brought in because of buffalo bill and general sheriff who got together and said we have to stop this activity. So the soldiers came in with to yellowstone between 1886 and 80 when rangers, who always been there since 1918 and have been naturalist, they had law enforcement, protection service, and all types of rangers, most of us when the rangers in the park, were all a hats. If we were short people in the gates, we went down and had to take money and charge people. I hated that because i had to balance the books at the end of each day, and if i was short, it came out of my pocket. So i was very careful, and sometimes we got people whod say, i give you a 20. And i knew they gave me a ten dollar because i put it under a rock in front of me so they could change. But you learn those things. This is up at mammoth if we. Thats liberty camp, over the left corner is fort yellowstone, its where the super tendency lived, and the soldiers came in, and that was the original fort yellowstone when general sheridan got soldiers to take over and manage yellowstone. We had civilian conservation courts. The ccs. We had six camps in Yellowstone Park in the 30s. They help me trails, bridges, and the work still exists throughout the park. This is we maxing cnet cement. To world war ii, they were in a trickle part of helping yellowstone build trails and backcountry accessible. They fought forest fires, that type of thing. I can later, in the 50s, 1956. Long garrison was a superintendent, he had come from yosemite, and he said i wanted a front country ranger with talking with people and helping them with issues like letting water out of their trailer, water out of the ground. And correct issues. He said, i dont want you to read a lot of tickets. Just make them feel at home and correct the problems. In six years of working, i issued six tickets, and they were serious ones. But i enjoyed the job of visiting people, and love garrison did to every other week he would say, bob, i will meet you in old faithful or canyon. I will stationed that lake, and i have to bring my horse and another horse because long insisted on writing my saddle, my horse, big red. And as we are writing through the campgrounds, around old faithful, busy with people, he would look at me when he had a chance and says, you have the best job at the park. And i agreed with him. This is big read between us. And i hated to leave the park service, but i was often on commission to fly in the military. And i turned my commission back to the park service and went off and spent a lot of years flying. Today, heres three Young Rangers brad, mike, and i am not remembering the other brother, but he wasnt back color. There were all rangers that ran different parts of the park they are all retired today. But they had the attitude of helping people. This was taken by the fireplace and the lake ranger station. This man is cam shell, he was raised at mammoth, gardner. He was a superintendent of the park. He has the right stuff. Hes the right leader. I was up over the fourth of july, talked to the rangers that were Walking Around and helping peoples talk to some of the maintenance people and they all said, well, he is taking care of us, helping us get better housing, and he is really working hard to get this park back open. And i think he is doing a great job. Ive been up there about three times. What i see, and youll see more roads open very soon. This is suzanne lewis, she was the only woman superintendent for yellowstone. And she came from pensacola, florida. When she looked at me she said, ive heard all about you, bob, you are naval aviator. And i said yes maam. She said, you just bear with me, she said, ive learned to handle you guys. And we got along fine. But every superintendent over the years i sudden that my letter at the end of the season with the things i see that are good, and wrong that need to be corrected. And believe it or not, several women invited me to the retirements, and they went through the letter on the screen and said i take care of every one of these things. But if something is wrong, it should be corrected. This is craig thomas, i went to school with him. Became a u. S. Senator, hes now deceased. But he was opening the center at canyon. A visitor center. This is bob smith. Hes with the university of utah. He went to work with yellowstone the same time i did. He went up 76 different streams of the Yellowstone Lake by him self with a backpack for a week. And checking trout and doing it for fisheries. And he went on and finished his degrees. He flew in the air force. And anyway, we are still friends. He has a home between moose and the airport in jackson. And he is the man that has gotten all the seismic sites. He had a gps sites. And his team from the university of utah, studies [inaudible] both vertically and shifting faults of the plane. And i have unpacked trips with bob and john langsbury who is a district ranger like. And every summer, we would do a different back pack trip in different parts of the park. And we would take the oldest ranger who had retired who could write a horse, and take them along with us. And get them to share their stories when they were arranger. One of the wed go to sleep and that horse would move over. And i finally said, john, we have to stop, we have to get this guy awake. And we [inaudible] backcountry cabins. What an experience to be with all these people that love yellowstone like i do. This is soda butte, and there was a ranger station there. Today, you drive by, you dont see any part of that except for the sort of butte and the spring that runs out the side of it. And you are looking at the creek. This is larry lateral and his guests of valley ranch. This was probably in the 30s, early 30s. The superintendent was writing it with his group. This is early day transportation in the park. There is a display on yellowstone, 150 years right now in the hall and take time to go down and associate, this wagon is one of the original wagons. Its on display there. This is eight horses, teamed up, pulling three wagons, in front of old faithful in. This is frosted richard with one of the carriages that they used to take people to yellowstone for 18 days, selfcontained, up to 150 guests at a time. They borrowed every wagon, every horse, and every man they could drive a wagon to help them do these trips. Pretty amazing. This is a camp right above the bridge on the upper falls of yellowstone. And they would camp here and walk the north rim and the south rim, and spend three nights there. And, this is the photograph that really rang a bell for me. People each had their own stools but they had breakfast and dinner and they had a lunch to carry. Every day. Those cooks must of been pretty busy. Once in a while, granddad caught this photograph, of a cook whose name was jones, e photograph jones, feeding the bears back in the early 1900s. Can you believe that . Thats terrible ill tell you more. But i met my wife up there feeding the bears and i arrested her. And i gave her the choice of either going to dinner or going to court. And she said well im not stupid. And that was halfway through my career at the park service. We got married, we had two children, in yellowstone before we went to the marine corps. But lots of stories. This is one of the cook wagons on the 30th of june, trying to get over the pass. There is a wagon my granddad is bailing off of it, i think uncle ben took the picture. And they have to unpack that whole thing and put it back together. Thats going through done raven pass we. I mean, i cant imagine having to drive horses, or ride horses for 18 days to do the upper and lower loops. This is at the corkscrew, and frost and richard taking guests both by wagon and horseback. In 1990 they replaced that with a dirt rock and concrete corkscrew that they used till 1927. This is an interesting photograph. Granddad is taking 18 School Teachers from chicago, and next to him, sets the future mrs. Richard, granddad had a broken shoulder, and was he couldnt handle the rains very well, so this lady said, i will handle the ribbons. And she drove, a schoolteacher, for 18 days. And when they stopped at lake hotel, granddad asked her to marry him and went back to chicago, and brought back his bride to cody. And that became my grandmother. How about the . This is coming through seven pass around the 1st of july, 1916. They cleared it for horses both the cars still werent getting through. This was 1916. This is the seven lake hotel, most people dont know it ever existed. And how they tore down in 1926. But this was a stopping place for the buses after the wagons were stopped in 1916. This was mount rush burden where a couple of the carriages and guests of frost and richard. Buffalo bill akasaka, and promoting the east gate and getting people to come to cody, and he got a train in across the river. It was very important to him that yellowstone was a destination point. And all the different railroads tried to get the destination point to yellowstone and bring people to yellowstone. This is up by gardner. People were loading and supplies were being loaded at gardner to be at the park. Here is a camp at old faithful on the left. Tempt camp and the Center Photograph is one of the first buildings at minute. And on the right is the baronet toll bridge. I still take people down and show them the bridge. Its just below the yellowstone bridge across the yellowstone at tower. This again is showing some of the conquered coaches. This is a current coach that has been rebuilt and is being used to take people to parasite him. It really gives todays people an opportunity for a little cookout, cowboy music, and ride out and coaches. This is one of net frost. He was selling student baker cars and he also sold automobile bus transportation. And this is here in the museum. That is the taxi after the horse a drug were put away when they were driven across the way to bring people to the irma. And its here in the museum down the hall. This is a horse hall on august 1st, 1915, opening the east gate to cars. And there they are. Here, they are trying to get a vehicle through sullivan pass. You can see rocks mixed with the stone. It wasnt easy even with cars. This is the east gate to the side to it, and once in a while i had to go down and open it up until we got our season into take the cars and give him a ticket or a pass. This was a young lady that i arrested earlier and we were married. My boss picture up one day and she was feeding oranges to the block where. He said, june, you cant do that. She says, well, when your wife stops it, all stop it. [laughs] he came back and shoot on me, it was all my fault. We have bus transportation, buses carry up to 55 people. This is at grand village. And lots, and lots of good improvements. The park is cleaner than ive ever seen it. And anybody that goes there is going to love it and enjoy it. This is a map showing the highlights, when i was doing tours for over 40 years and yellowstone, that im if i had people for one day, i would do a lower loop or an upper loop. If i had them for a week, we spend more time visiting Different Things i had people from india, and they brought their 25 year old daughter, she listed 110 things you wanted to see in yellowstone. I looked at her list, and i dont even recognize some of the names. I said, oh yeah, we can handle it all. And at the end of the five days, she said yall got all of them but one. And i said, i think you missed marking that down. Anyway, i was happy to see them leave, and they were happy, they enjoy the trip. This is jim mckee caleb, he was the Vice President for zen tara, and ran the hotels, and not only here but throughout the west. And he has just retired a couple of years ago. But cared about his employees, cared about providing Good Services and good food to the people that visited yellowstone. This is fishing bridge. Fishing bridge is ive been there since the 30s. And its starting to show a lot of wear. They worked on it, and worked on the abutments, and they tell me weve got nine more years before its going to collapse. And i keep saying, we need to have you get it in the system, and lets rebuild another bridge and save this for people who just want to walk across. Big problem, ice builds up when its coming up in the spring, and builds up, and the rangers even have to use dynamite to break up the ice so it doesnt take the bridge out. Speaking of ice, this is before the river froze. Look on the left side, and you will see. The boat dock. My favorite place in the summertime. Borrow a rowboat and take june at the time one of the boys, put lifejackets on them, fly fish, catch trout, all cutthroat. I keep one, filet it. And wed have it for dinner. My mother called it yellowstone bacon. But really tasty. This is the oldest hotel in the park lake hotel, great place for dinner. When my wife was alive, we liked to go there the last two or three days it was season. Tour the park, have a nice dinner, and go back out in the valley and see the animals. What a treat. This is the front of lake hotel taken from out in the lake, and all those boats belong to people from cody. Paul stop, eschewing oil, and others. And right in the center is the building that served the boat dock. And that is an earlier picture taken in the 30s. But that was there till they moved to bridge bay. This is an add on the lake, Yellowstone Lake, in the 50s. And that was the last time any snow planes were on the lake because, as i was going across, driving at 70 miles an hour, i really skipping along, all of a sudden, all i saw was blue water in front of me. And i had buyin oculars hanging on me, a heavy coat, heavy snow pants, and a throttled, its an 85 horse engine on the back with the push or tie prop, and i skimmed across this open water, and i went on out and swirled around, and the other two never saw it. And i said, we are not taking any more snow planes or anything on this lake, and they never did after that. But it was a great trip and you can see lake hotel in the background. These are the ski patrol cabins in the back country. Couldnt get in through the door, the snow was up to the eaves of the roof, and there was always a big scoop shovel and you dug down to identify whether it was unlocked, and let yourself in. You had would inside, start a fire, and food done underneath it, the sub area. And always carried it when you were socially or skiing. Federal on your back, and food enough to get you through the night if you couldnt get from more one patrol cabin to the other. There are still, there they are still used. This is where i was stationed as a young ranger. I had to do paperwork, i hated it. I much rather be on the horse doing horse patrol, or road patrol, or a campground patrol, or going out on a boat, checking fishermen. Of course, the limit was ten trout in those days. Nobody ever took more than they needed anyway, except some relatives who came up to visit with my mother, brothers, and sisters. And next thing i saw was they had too many trout. And i said, thats it, youre out of here. So they left and the big problem was, my uncle was on his way back to cody, his kids all in the back of the pick up in the camper was stopped at barry bay doing 60 miles an hour. And my boss stopped him, and he my uncle got out, the truck, and he put his hands on his hips, do you know that my nephew was a superintendent of the park . And my boss said, i really had trouble keeping a straight face. Anyway, he chewed on it a little bit. Wrote on the back of his past that if he got to the east gate before certain time, they would arrest him and take him to mammoth with all his kids. Anyway, one of my mothers brothers, and i never enjoyed hearing that story more than when i told it to him afterwards. This is brad ross. His last job was the manager of all of backcountry. And he had different districts and he was going to retire as the district ranger for the lake. And in the lake ranger station, about 25 photographs enlargements of my dads, and you can go to lake ranger station, knock on the door, get somebody to come, let you win, and you can visit and look at the early day photographs taken by my dad, net frost, showing the history of the lake here and by over brads shoulder, is when i was a horse ranger in front of lake hotel. This is a Fish Hatchery that existed for a long time there. Its still there, but its not being used this is a storage area. For boats and its still there. Then you have west thumb, and there used to be a boat dock here, that was a fishing comb. And this is one of the hot springs in the area, whos a forest fire in the background. This is an Old Faithful Hotel in 18 95 to 96. Todays Current Hotel that was built in 19 for. A fireplace inside has eight fireplaces one on each corner, a Big Fireplace in the center. The earthquake in 59 toppled the chimney, and only three of these fireplaces work today. This is where the curly pieces of wood thats attached to the fireplace, and i found its written 1904 its still there. Its a size youre going into the dining room. People are gathered around old faithful, its the collection point. People stay once or twice, you can call it up on an app and no one is roughly going to go off. When i was there. It went every 60, 62 minutes. Now its an hour and a half, sometimes longer. Hamilton stores existed for years and years its not been taken over by another company. But they had a great reputation, and theyre the only ones that serve real crocks and ice cream and have since the twenties. And so, always keep that in mind. This is nords, and thats the norris hotel that was broken open, someone started the fire. This was the fourth hotel, and when they started the fire, the fire plays, they hadnt worked it out right in the hotel brenda. For hotels burned down at nords. This is one of the earlier hotels. This is the visitors center, its called the all right center. It was the headquarters for the soldiers. This was in mammoth, and it was a specimen house, where they took horseshoes and other things to a hot spring, and that calcium formed on the horseshoes, and they sold them with interrupts. Of course, they decided that wasnt right. And stopped it. These are petrified red wood trees up on specimen ridge. And my son, scott, hyped up there, in the appalachian mountain, people camp up there. And he had a Different Group every week. This was one of the day hikes. But these trees are up into the lamar and you can see them in many places. This is the toll bridge, again. Touri so to butte, and these buffalo are waiting for the tourists. Its amazing, i always tell my guests, when theyd see the buffalo read by the road, its, a, they have to watch tourists. Thats what they do in the summer and they look at me and frown i had fun with this when susan louis the superintendent, i showed this at one of the meetings and said, suzanne, why does this, the only goal toil it in the park that has a mailbox, and she looked at her stuff and said, tell me about it . And they did know either. And i explained that this was the mailbox for the Silver Tip Ranch just north on slough creek. And he came down every day on horseback and got the male camp shoddily didnt like that, and i dont know who moved it, but the mailbox is no longer there. This is where the tectonic plate slipped from, which is at the northeast gate down and landed on heart mountain. And you can stop there by the springs and look both north and to the south and see where it broke loose, and slid 60 miles down the mountain. Nobody tells you that, and if you get three geologists talking about it, theyre all arguing about whether it happened or not. But anyway, hartman has younger limestone on top of older limestone thats because the plates slipped on their. Thats the false, and this is a tree that was carved by the hayden party in 1971 just up by the upper falls. I learned about it from my grandfather, i showed it to some of the rangers. The superintendent wanted to know where it was and he said, will you take me there . And i never got around to it, because i was afraid hed cut it and put it in his museum. Its still growing there. This is the low were false, 308 feet. Beautiful spot. This is the geysers soldier station. This is big red and i crossing route fishing ridge. Never got caught by a lawyer but we visited everyone as we crossed. The also spent in the 60s capturing elk that were too many. And chipped them to all the states that wanted elk and we have a look from Yellowstone Park in a dozen states around the country today including pennsylvania. This is the corral that they were running to, loaded up into trucks after they cut the horns off and shipped them elsewhere. This is one of the early day snow coaches. They are still in use today. And this is a pillar 12 e that i rented, came home one leave, picked my granddad up on [inaudible] yuck that Cedar Mountain behind it, and i flew him around yellowstone and showed him around for two hours. He looked at me and said, bobby, you showed me and two and a half hours what took me a lifetime to do on horseback. It was one of the neatest days for me, to share that with my granddad. This is a special photograph for many reasons. This is max photograph. This is heart mountain. And when i, from the time i was a kid, that is the weather vane, i looked at the clouds, i know what the weather is going to be. But every time i came back to cody, all my life, i knew i was home. This is the landmark for me to live in cardi, wyoming. Heart mountain. It was named buffalo heart by the native americans. Heart mountain, i always kid and say, gee, you must of been from powell to spell it wrong. Yuck yellowstone regional airport, the old Cody Trading Company before it burned and they rebuilt it more. Our Fire Department theres a new book out on the Fire Department first Rodeo Grounds were right up front here between here and the Cody High School football field is on the right you can see the Old Red School house and the bell tower there they took the bell out of there and said it in school they did know where it came from till i told them i used to pull the rope on that rascal yuck the hidden side of yellowstone this is a book that is on the sports of hiking trails as yellowstone southgate this was back in the 50s thats the headquarters there this is the roosevelt arch north gate northeast gate. General Phil Sheridan and his involvement. I took this a few weeks ago, thats Mount Sheridan and the ice going out. We were driving along, and i was helping people learn about yellowstone. And i snapped that through the window. And kind of like it. Buffalo bill, when he was involved in helping general sheridan get the soldiers there. Mac, you have to talk about this one. Di okay, this is the 4th of july this here. And thats the fireworks display that was going on across the river from the Buffalo Bills center of the rest. And this is a picture that i had been planning to take for many, many years. Just to put the fire works the behind the statue of vanderbilt. I thought was a pretty outstanding photograph. Thank you. We have had district rangers train younger rangers as they are learning the ropes, and this hangs in the lay ranger station. And always told this to the young man that they should remember who they are and what they stand for. And always stood well with all of us. With this is the company that i had for over 20 years. Its been an existence for 50 years. If you go back to 19 two, frost and richard were doing tours, and when they could get in the park, in 19 five or six, they were doing chores and they had to change over to trucks and cars to take people along with horses. My dad and his brother on horseback tours, i did a few before i got to the age that i could become arrange or this is my first brochure promoting the business, and i had a great business. Met people from all over the world. And what a treated was because i learned as much from my guests as they learn from me. This is probably the most the best picture that i took. Its the bears coming into the park. And ive sold over 750 numbered photographs, and every retiree that works in the park, frozen tara, gets an enlargement and share with their employees. And not only is this a net frost photograph, this one was trying to figure out how to run ads camera. I found this and i emailed Teresa Howell and said, can i use this . And i said, can you read it. You can treat it . You can . Good. It says ranger bob. And i thought, that is mine. And she said, please go ahead and use it. And scott moore published the book. This is a type in that i used to wear, this was my ranger badge when i was a ranger, they put this out to celebrate 100 years as a ranger badge and then i found this. This is bill mondays trail number. And taking tours through yellowstone or over yellowstone. This is out and for sale, in the park right now this is a resource, and issues handbook thats published now. When it was first made up, it was only made for the superintendent of the park. I can buy it. This is this years, its a collectors item, you can claim it at the visitor center. Three natural disasters that ive been involved in, the fires of 88 and the floods. And weve all survived it, its been tough on the communities and tough for people. In fact, in the earthquake, everyone stayed out of the park, and we had great fishing, it was wonderful. I was always proud to put our flag outside this ranger station. This is a thank you to some of the people that helped us put this together, and sucked i just barely made the time.
