Ulysses S. Grant's Visit To Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone is the worlds first national park. It was origanally home to Native Americans who lived in the Yellowstone area for at least 11,000 years.The U.S. Army was first commissioned to oversee the park just after its establishment in late 1960. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service. Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles (8,983 km2), mostly comprising lakes, rivers canyons and mountain ranges. The national park is located primarily in the state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congressand signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872.

Imagine walking into the office on a November day and seeing a new commander walk by on the way to his office. He does not exude the military image that is expected from military officers. As talking to co-workers, you hear that this gentleman finished in the lower portion of his West Point class and just a few years ago resigned his commission for a bit instead of being court-martialed for issues associated with his drinking problem. Would you pre-judge this man or wait and see what type of leader he was? The man described is Ulysses S. Grant, General of the Union Army and future President of the United States of America. While General Grant was not a perfect leader, I will argue that General Grant was one of the most visionary and ethical leaders in United States history. Visionary leader. I will discuss how Grant as an ethical leader faced and triumphed over a competing values ethical dilemma and used intellectual courage to change his point of view to help move the country forward after the Civil War. I will also discuss the personal relevance of Grant’s leadership qualities to my leadership abilities.

1. Karl Jacoby book brings the remarkable accounting of the negative aspects of conservation movement to the sunlight. Jacoby uses the early years of Adirondack Park, Yellowstone National Park, and the Grand Canyon Forest Preserve to demonstrate his theme of the locals’ reactions to the creation of the park and the actions from the conservationists. And the fantasies the early conservationists’ promulgated of the locals of being satanic rapists of the environment are dispelled (193).

Yellowstone National Park is one of the largest and oldest national parks in American history. Yellowstone was the first park to be protected by private investment on March 1, 1872, and the first to be put under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service in 1918, no doubt due to its unique and inspiring landscape and geothermal features. In fact, Yellowstone National Park is home to half of the world’s total hydrothermal features. These awesome attractions draw an incredible amount of visitors, an average of two to three million each year, to Yellowstone’s immense landscape. The park has a total size of 28,125 square miles, is found in three distinct states, and is considered to be one of the largest

One summer my parents informed my brother Ben and I we were going on a trip to Yellowstone National Park. I had never been so excited for anything in my life. I had a passion and love for nature, and being that Yellowstone had some of the most beautiful and interesting geological features on Earth, I knew I would have a blast. They said we would be going in a few weeks, and I literally couldn’t wait. I kept asking questions upon questions, and finally, my dad just got annoyed. “Go research it, Juliette.” He said. “The internet will know more than I do.” I took his advice and went to research Yellowstone.

Yellowstone National Park, untamed wild beauty. Stunning landscapes, beautiful waterfalls and rivers, breathtaking wildlife, and geothermal activity all come together to make Yellowstone an amazing place. People come from all over the world to witness the beauty of Yellowstone. It is a regulated national park for a reason, it is so amazing, so beautiful, so spectacular to not preserve it. It hosts bison, elk, deer, bald eagles, bears, moose, beavers, and amazing trout rivers, everything a perfect mountain ecosystem should hold. However now there is something else, something that is natural, was removed but has now returned, flourishing and benefiting its surroundings. Wolves, have been reintroduced into Yellowstone and have greatly benefited the area. These wolves have started a positive and beneficial renewal in the park. The reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park is beneficial because they created and natural and beneficial trophic cascade, other animals in the park benefited from the wolves, and because the land was able to regrow and flourish due to the wolves’ presence.

“The human history of the Yellowstone region goes back more than 11,000 years. From then until to the very recent past, many groups of Native Americans used the park as their homes, hunting grounds, and transportation routes. These traditional uses of Yellowstone lands continued until a little over 200 years ago when the first people of European descent found their way into the park. In 1872 a country that had not yet seen its first centennial, established Yellowstone as the first national park in the world. A new concept was born and with it a new way for people to preserve and protect

Hiram Ulysses Grant was born on April 27, 1822, in Point Pleasant, Ohio. He was the first of six children born into a religious and hard-working family. His father was a tanner who took animal hides and processed them into leather (Gordon 2). He made a good living, but the work conditions were terrible. Although Grant occasionally worked in the tannery as a child, he hated the work and swore to his father that once he was an adult, he would never be around tannery again.

Ulysses S. Grant, the eighteenth President of the United States, was a hardened war hero risen from the aftermath of the Civil War. He was perhaps a bit underqualified for the presidency, but what he lacked in politics he made up for with his brutal honesty and rich conviction. And although his two terms are tainted with controversy and corruption, Grant still managed to progress Abraham Lincoln’s plans for Reconstruction and attempt to mend the divided the nation. His successes, such as the Fifteenth Amendment, and his failures, like the Gold Panic of 1869, should be appropriately weighed to give Grant’s presidency a seven out of ten ranking.

He earned average grades at the military school but he excelled in math, geology, and horsemanship. He graduated in 1843 and was going to rethink continuing to work

It is believed that Native Americans inhabited the lands of what is now Yellowstone National Park for more than 11,000 years, until approximately 200 years ago, when European settlers began to drive many of them from their homelands. In 1872 Yellowstone was declared the world’s first national park as a way to preserve and protect the land for the “benefit and enjoyment of future generations.” (National Park Service) Yellowstone National Park covers a vast area in the Northwestern United States. Its landscape is very complex and ever changing thanks to the many geological forces that are found there. In fact, the unique geological features such as the geysers, hot springs, steam vents, among many others, are what lead to

Today was another beautiful day in the Redwood National Park. The park is in Northern California, near the coast, and very close to the Oregon border. So, it was a little breezy but, it's summer so for the most part it was quite warm and sunny. As the park ranger walked us through the Redwood Forest the birds were chirping the air was clean and fresh, there were a few clouds in the sky. It was the perfect weather for a walk through the woods. Today, my family and I learned many interesting facts about Redwood National Park, while we took a short tour around the park with a park ranger. We learned, when the park was established and why, why this park is a national treasure, and why national parks are so important.
