The notes contain General Young’s plan for a civil guard in Yellowstone National Park, including where they would be stationed, the pay they would receive, and the equipment they would need. An estimated total cost is $50,000 per year. Young thinks this would be a significant savings over the current military station, and would better serve the interests of the park.
