Letter from S. B. M. Young to Theodore Roosevelt

Superintendent Young of Yellowstone National Park describes actions he has taken to ensure that the officers, soldiers and scouts on duty observe and enforce park rules. Although there have been challenges retaining enlisted men, in three months he has been able to convict eleven poachers, including a non commissioned officer. Young describes the difficulties of working with state game wardens, and he hopes that being a civilian administrator in a position higher than that of the officer selected to command the troops does not breed resentment.
