Yosemite National Park rangers
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
