The record — long form
Lamar Valley is where the bison came back — the Buffalo Ranch that saved the species, the twenty-one purchased animals that restarted the Yellowstone herd when only twenty-five were left. The 1902 Congress appropriation was the first — the intensive management that made wildlife conservation a federal act, the corrals and the hayfields in the valley. The wolves came back too — the 1995 reintroduction that made Lamar the watching ground, the predators the elk drew.
The Bannock Trail was the older road — the Native route through the valley to the buffalo plains, the hunting path that predates the park. Tower Fall is the painted view — the Moran canvas that helped make the park, the pinnacles the creek drops past. Lamar is the wildlife valley — the buffalo ranch's historic district and the wolf watchers' scopes, the place where the conservation started.
The file keeps Lamar Valley: the Buffalo Ranch, the 1902 rescue, the wolf reintroduction, and the Bannock Trail.
