National Park Service History Collection RG 39

Container List

A. Provenance

This material came from many sources including the WASO Division of Ranger Activities, other WASO divisions, regional offices, parks, and a few individuals. Much of it was generated by WASO along with material from some individual parks, the Forest Service, private concerns, contractors, and various periodicals. Much of this material is secondary – published articles and handbooks. The U.S. Forest Service material is included because it was USFS material that rangers in the field used almost exclusively for many years for references on fire fighting, fire lookouts, forestry, etc.

B. History

Ranger activities were first carried out in Yellowstone National Park. Gamekeeper Harry Yount is credited with being the first ranger, 1880-81. The enforcement problems at Yellowstone were such that the Army took over and patrolled the park from 1886-1918 at he request of the Secretary of the Interior. The California parks were also protected by the Army from their creation in 1890, but here forest rangers were used to supplement the Army. These forest rangers became park rangers in 1905, when the forest reserves were reorganized, and the forest rangers could no longer patrol adjacent areas. The same reorganization led to rangers at Mount Rainier and Wind Cave. The superintendent handled protection duties at Crater Lake until appropriations increased enough to appoint a park ranger. Platt National Park used patrolmen and the Bureau of Indian Affairs helped at Mesa Verde. Forest rangers manned stations at Glacier until the national park was authorized in 1910 at which time park rangers took over. By the time Rocky Mountain National Park was established, a ranger service had been organized and park rangers were authorized at ROMO.

In 1915, Regulations Governing Rangers in the National Parks was issued by General Superintendent Mark Daniels. The Department set up a separate Park Ranger Service with the aim of increasing uniformity among the parks. This goal was met by Stephen T. Mather and the 1916 establishment of the National Park Service. Two years later National Park rangers were able to take over all protection duties and release the soldiers for World War I. The rangers not only patrolled all natural National Parks including Yellowstone but also covered national monuments and even historic areas. Mather tried to build up the new ranger service and stressed educational qualifications along with the traditional outdoor ones.

After regionalization in 1937, each region and the Washington Office (WASO)had someone in charge of rangers although the title of the position and the name of the office has varied greatly over the years. In 1959, it was called Division of Ranger Activities. In the early days, the ranger did it all: wildlife control, trail building, telephone line repair, answering visitor questions, protecting ruins and buildings, giving directions, building trails and fences, public relations, maintaining and building museum collections, giving talks, some administration, filling out reports, law enforcement, and forestry. As forest fire fighting, maintenance, interpretation, and administrative divisions developed, the scope of the ranger's job narrowed. Since the early 1970's there has been increased emphasis on law enforcement; both seasonal and permanent rangers must have 200 hours of police training.

Seasonal rangers, chiefly college students and schoolteachers, have been prominent since the early 1900's. National Park Service rangers are currently classified in the Civil Service 025 Park Management Series. Both law enforcement and interpretative rangers are covered by this series. From 1968 to 1986 there was an 026 Park Technician Series to handle lower graded, non-professional jobs. After much controversy, the Office of Personnel Management in January 1986, restored the 025 rank to all above OS-4. Since 1977, there has been a professional Association of National Park Rangers to address grades and other concerns.

Summary

There are 6 1/2 boxes of material under this category which has been divided into three series and two classification numbers. Series I - Protection, and Series II - Safety have been given the number Y50 while Series III - Firefighting is numbered Y14. It has been furthered subdivided into two parts: (a) U.S.F.S. Fire Control (as used by U.S.N.P.S.) and (b) U.S.N.P.S. Fire Management.

Notes

The last section of this inventory is a listing of ranger manuals. Much of the material in the History section, above, was taken from the unpublished book To Preserve and protect by John Henneberger which is in the book portion of the collection. The editions of "Oh, Ranger!" by Horace M. Albright and Frank J. Taylor, give some of the "flavor" of rangering. They, along with The National Park Service and later books by William C. Everhart, are also contained in the book portion of the collection and should be of interest. Within that portion, some of the travel and guidebooks mention the ranger and his/her activities as do those listed in the NPS History Preliminary Inventory.

Published biographies of Directors, especially Mather and Albright, along with those of Park Service personnel, Lon Garrison in particular, also shed light on rangers and their activities.

A box of ranger activities photos has been transferred to the NPS Historic Photo Collection Most of the portraits in the collection are of rangers and/or former rangers, some in uniform. These uniforms themselves make up a large portion of the museum collection along with badges. As mentioned in the preliminary inventory for the paper material regarding uniforms and insignia, catalog numbers HFCA 2-51, 118-203, 240-351, 346-351, 361-364, 377-386, 388-391, 450-452, and 568 should be consulted. The aforementioned inventory should be of interest also.

The other preliminary Inventory mentioned, that for NPS History, would likewise be of interest. Although not yet inventoried, the Training Material P86 has much of interest regarding rangers and ranger activities. Inventories covering former ranger activities especially interpretation and museum could be consulted. Other activities represented by papers in the collection but not yet inventoried would include Wildlife - N16, Administration – A including Public Relations - A38, and Maintenance - D22 and D30 (roads and trails). Personnel - P64, Employment - P72, Women - P41 and the preliminary inventory for Conferences - A40 might also contain applicable information. Papers in the biography section as well as the separate oral history collection would concern rangers, former rangers, and ranger activities.

The periodicals, especially the Courier and predecessors, contain much on ranger activities (and rangers). The HFC Library receives the periodical Ranger put out by the Association of National Park Rangers. Museum catalog numbers HFCA 594-600 were donated by the ANPR and should be consulted along with those already mentioned. Some of these items can be seen in the films, especially the Albright videos (RG 25).
