Saving Yellowstone

The President Arthur Expedition of 1883

For most of August 1883 a military expedition headed by President Chester A. Arthur and guided by Lt. Gen. Philip Sheridan crossed

to raise the awareness of U.S. Citizens to the attractions along the route, and the need for preservation of the park..
