Report of trip to Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park

Report of trip to Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park

Paul L. Beaubien reports on a trip he made to Theodore Roosevelt National Park to try to ascertain where the Elkhorn Ranch had been. He and Ray H. Mattison were able to approximate the location closely by comparing the terrain with photographs taken of the area by Theodore Roosevelt in 1886. While there is no evidence remaining on the surface, Beaubien believes that excavation in the area may reveal artifacts. Beaubien also describes a number of other visits he made to sites in the area, and includes photographs of the Elkhorn Ranch site.
