Historical background for the Rocky Mountain National Park
Rensch HE. 1935. Historical background for the Rocky Mountain National Park. Field Division of Education
This study of the History of Rocky Mountain National Park is a compilation from published documents of some of the more interesting phases of the events occurring in the region now comprising one of the major National parks of the United States. It is not a complete history of the area. Many subjects of paramount interest are not touched upon or are merely suggested, while those treated are handled with the purpose of bringing out the salient features of stories which lend themselves well to the preparation of museum displays. The purpose which led to the writing of the paper was the assembling of data which could be employed in planning historical displays in the museums of Rocky Mountain National Park.
