Public relation photograph for announcement of new
jobs for, Scoyen, Tillotson and Eakin, 1927. Photograph taken
in front of Grand Canyon National Park Office (now (1973) residence of
superintendent). As can be seen from this image, even superintendents
weren't immune to deviations in uniforms. Scoyen's bottom pockets are
rounded, while his top pockets are square with pointed flaps.
Tillotson's bottom pockets are only slightly rounded. Eakin's coat has
square bottom pockets, and round top pockets with scalloped flaps.
Above left to right: Eivind T. Scoyen, supt., Zion National Park; Miner

Edwards, Secretary of the Interior; J. Ross Eakin, supt., Glacier
National Park; Horace M. Albright, supt., Yellowstone National Park and
Asst. Director (Field) NPSHPC-HFC/GRCA 89-2

Ranger force at Sequoia National Park, c.
1926. These two images show the variations in cut and
appointments that were beginning to creep into ranger coats at Sequoia,
c. 1925-26, and as can be seen by Chief Ranger Milo S. Decker, kneeling
in the front of the bottom image (left end, with the service stripes on
his right sleeve), Lew Davis wasn't the only one that marched to his own
drummer at that park. Top photo: NPSHPC - HFC/93-338; Bottom
