of the NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
Photofile

Nine rangers at Yosemite
National Park, c.1917. Their coats have something on the
collars, probably the specified N.P.S., either stitched or of metal
(furnished by Lewis). They are all wearing the small badge, except for
the third man from the left, who appears to be wearing the large 1906
"eagle" badge. Courtesy of Bancroft Library, University of
California, Berkeley

Nature guides in front of a
section of Sequoia gigantea at museum in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite
National Park, 1926. Michael, though employed for several
years as a nature guide and ranger-naturalist, never wore a uniform.
The other guides are still wearing the 1906 badge even though it was
supplanted by the 1920 badge six years earlier.
