This paper, the History of Glacier National Park, was prepared to meet the needs of contemplated museum developments at Glacier National Park. The dominating need which governed the preparation of the paper was the requirement of a succinct account of the activities of the northern fur trade and those phases of Canadian history which touched upon this area. Prepared with this need in view and with a distinct time limitation, the study is necessarily uneven in its treatment of different portions of the historical background of the park. In the main it is believed the principal objectives have been accomplished satisfactorily and that the paper provides a brief introduction to the history of the park, summarizing the available printed literature with a proper evaluation of sources, and presents a reasonably comprehensive bibliography.
