right in taking action to make this
private property to protect this
historic landmark.

3. Questions
1. What were 2 myths of the Yellowstone National
Park?
2. Who was given credit to finding Yellowstone
National Park?
3. Why did Grant finally decide to protect this
piece of land by making it a national park?
4. Do you believe Langford was a criminal? Why?
5. Why do you think the railroad was considered a
symbol?
9. What view did the Primary Sources Provide?
How did they help reach my conclusion?
In my case the primary sources provided me with
with a one-sided opinion on the congress side
which was that it was great that it became a
National Park which I agree with. Usually
government doesn’t always utilize its powers in
the best way but I felt here they were being
responsible. Other primary sources from people
involved like the Snake Indians were because
they were upset about being kicked out of their
home. For this circumstance I am agreeing with
congress’s decision of making this Wyoming
territory private property.
