Memorandum from James B. Thompson to Fred C. Fagergren

Superintendent of Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park, James B. Thompson, tells Regional Director Fred C. Fagergren that he agrees with Theodore E. White’s assessment that White is not the appropriate person to cull the Elkhorn Ranch archeological collection. The park does not have another staff member who is qualified, either. Thompson asks if a qualified historical archaeologist is available within the region, or if there is someone available from the East Coast.

Memorandum from James B. Thompson to Fred C. Fagergren

Superintendent Thompson of Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park reports to Regional Director Fagergren that the excavations at the Elkhorn Ranch site by Paul L. Beaubien and Dee Calderwood Taylor have amassed a large number of artifacts. Before these artifacts are cataloged, they need to be culled, but the park’s budget will not allow for hiring a qualified worker to do this. He hopes that the Park Service as a whole can help.

75th anniversary – Natural Bridges National Monument

Deputy Regional Director James B. Thompson commemorates the seventy-five year history of Natural Bridges National Monument. In 1908, Natural Bridges became the first national park area in Utah. Theodore Roosevelt was in the White House, “at that time the youngest man ever to occupy the presidency.” At that time, possibly only about a hundred people had seen Natural Bridges. In 1982, 8.5 million out-of-state visitors came to Utah. Thompson hopes sites like Natural Bridges will always be a source of “wonder and inspiration” for visitors.
