The Wheeler National Monument

The Wheeler National Monument

Frank C. Spencer reviews the history of Wheeler National Monument, including both the history of the area under Native Americans and European explorers, as well as his own involvement in the designation of the area as a National Monument. The area is formed by an eroded lava flow, and Spencer and his companions named various formations many different fanciful names when they traveled there. Spencer was a strong advocate for this location, and helped convince President Roosevelt to set the area aside as Wheeler National Monument.
